I am looking for some handload data for my .270. I am intereseted in any info on the 130 Gr. Swift Scirocco. My gun will group under an inch with Nosler 130gr. Ballistic Tips, but my Swift handloads are not as accurate. I am using 60 grains of H4831, Rem. Brass, and match primers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  I have not used the Swift bullets in my .270. But I do use the
  Nosler Partition with 59.0 gn. H4831. I would suggest back off
  on the powder to about 57 and start there with your bullets.
  Also, have you trimmmed the cases?
  
  Don't send flowers when I die. Send money now, I can buy more ammo.

  Thanks, for the reply bama55, yes I have trimmed the cases, turned the outside necks also, and are using Forster bench rest dies, on a single stage press. Along your thoughts, I am planning on trying different grains of H4831 and possibly a different powder. I have some H4350 and Imr4350. I realize that the bullet you want to use is sometimes not the most accurate one in you rifle, I feel the Swift bullet is the most ideal bullet out there for whitetail, and I am going to keep trying to get it to group under an inch.

  I've been shooting 56.0 of 4350 over the Sierra 130 BTSP for about 20 years on everything from coyotes to elk, and it's been a great performer.
