Reloder 19 vs n160

[co’den]

I’m planning to reload some Sako blade 120gr .270. The only load data I can find is for n160. I only have n140 and Reloder 19.
I don’t think n140 will work but what about the Reloder 19? Does anyone have any experience?

Alliant RL19 burns quite a bit slower than V140 according to my burn rate chart ... N160 is much closer to RL19.
I don't have a .270 but would favour the RL19, start low and work up ...

Alliant Powder list 57 grains of Reloader 19 with a 130 grain head. There is very little data for a 270 using 120 grain heads out there. I’d recommend getting a couple of good load data books and if your bullet powder combination isn’t listed then think of something else.

Aren’t sako blades non lead so you can’t use a 120grn lead load due to the bullet shape?

Hopefully the good load data manuals/books don't use the term 'heads' to refer to 'bullets' as the 'head' is the other end of the cartridge and holds the primer.
Slang terminology is all very good in some circumstances but doesn't help the beginner understand what really going on nor does it exhibit confidence to those that have a grasp.
Just my opinion of course, other may
