Thread: .270 , 130 sst and 2209 0r 2209 or N160

I have been out to the range a couple of times recently .
Looking to replicate a good load in .270 using the hndy 130 sst .
Now the original load made 3013 ft/sec . but i dont have the RL 15 anymore . It was a nice load . A mild Whomph , so to speak, and no drama to look at in the primers .
So i got to do with what i got .
out of the 3 powders , which would you go for to make a load a touch over 3k ?
I have tried the 2209 , buts its on the edge of HOT at 54.5 grs and feels like it as well so that is case is the 2nd to last case . The V= 2998 ft/sec for that round Note all the primers have bulged a bit from the first case at 53.0 gr to the last at 55.0 gr
The least offensive was case at 3 V=2991 ft//sec and 54 grs , but all the rounds went of with a loud "crack "

So , its the N160 next or the 2208 . Which do you reckon ? Got a pet load for the 270 using the 130 sst,s ?
By the way i am now out of the 130.s , but i got a tray of Large rifle to trade , i someone is interested .
cheers
