I tried 50 Gr Superformance with 140 Gr SMK in my 6.5 06 and got reasonable results. Around 2850 FPS and about .75" group at 100. Ok, but doesn't work as well as Re 22

It's bloody great powder I use it .260,6.5 Creedmoor,.270,300wsm and .243 you get good speeds and they all shoot well with it.

Wonder if it would go any good in 270wsm

I'm unsure but I can't see y not.
RL26 would also work I'm sure, as it works in all the others at about 1 grn more than SP

Yeah it's hard stuff to come across at the moment and so is Hodgdon superprofrmance.
I'm lucky I have a few of each.

SF gives very good velocity and accuracy in my T3 270. 57 grs is my load at col of 83.5 mm. I have shot a enlarged one hole group at 100 yds but only once generally an inch or just under. SF sits one slower than AR 2213SC on the chart I have. It is temp sensitive so watch that in the warmer months. Velocity is heaps better with this powder at least 200 fps faster than other powders I have tried. AR 2213SC with 150 gr Partitions could only get just over 2800 fps, my 145 ELDX are close to 3100 fps . SF works very well in the 3006 as well.
