Hi guys,
Have dabbled with the 162 eldx in my tikka 7mm rem mag with average results, before trying the superformance 154sst. These group around .5 MOA for me so am looking to develop a load for them. The superformance case doesnt sound like a full or compressed load so am going to try and work something up with 2213sc. Just wondering if anyone has done so in the past and would be kind enough to share. Cheers
This may or may not be helpful but I'm shooting 150gn Nosler BTs in a standard T3 with 70gns of 2213sc. Well over book max but no signs of excessive pressure and good velocity.
My rifle shot superformance 154sst fairly well, so I decided to make a load with them. Couldn't get them to shoot anywhere near what the superformance did.
Must be some superformance magic in there. The factory rounds were really quite warm/hot too! Showing mild pressure signs.
I used to rock the 154sst in front of 2225 if i remember correctly, Grouped amazingly and I was very happy with the velocity. I hunted Tahr with that loading for a bit until I used them all up and had very good results and it fed the house for quite some time. But of course I wanted to improve so went to the 162vmax, Still don't know why
I tried the factory Superformance loads and got 3154fps. Tried to duplicate it, couldn't quite match it. Settled on a load of 70gn's 2213SC behind the 154SST, shoots real accurate, but haven't put it over the crony yet. but I think that load may be a bit hot.
Thanks very much for the info guys. Do you know what velocity you were getting @Husky1600
My bad mate just saw you haven't put it over the chrony yet ��. I didnt chrony the superformance in mine but judging by the drop at 600m it seems be going somewhere around 3040fps in my rifle. If I can handload the 154sst to around 3100 I'd be happy
Not what you were asking but what loads did you try with 162s?
My old Ruger was the same load. Well over book but no excessive pressure signs either, they were doing 3250fps out of a 24” tube.Quote:
