If your friend is reloading suggest he try either DuPont (IMR) 4831 or Hodgens 4831 for his powder and either Hornady, Sierra or Berger 130 to140 gr. bullets

The .270 case is the same case as the 25/06, 280 rem. and 30/06. Only the neck size is different. This powder seems to max the case and has uniform burn.

He should also set the overall length to the same as the factory load that he now uses. This might be a sweet spot for his rifle.

Although the 130 gr bullet is the typical load for the .270 in US, the Euro rifles typically lean towards heavier bullets and therefore the twist rate is faster. This might be why his Sako favors the 140 grain. It might also do really well with the 150 gr. if he hunts larger game.

I think Hornady uses a proprietary powder and that might be the reason for the velocity he gets. This powder is not for general reloading as it is in house only. At least for now.
