Thread: More 270 Win Loads

hey @Mooseman dead thread revival but are you still using the 145gn eldx and superformance ?
if so are you still happy with how it performs ?
wondering if it's worth trying superformance or just sticking to 2213sc
I think @Moa Hunter was also trailing superformance in his 270win ?

Yes I have tried it and like it. It is easier to load than 2213 with even velocity increases in 'lock step' with increases in powder charge until max. In 21" barrel 270 59.3 gr gives me 3000 fps with a 140 Accubond. At 59.5 I got a tiny ejector swipe and velocity spread opened up a lot. Bolt lift was unchanged, still easy. From what I have read and found it is a 'no surprises' type powder that doesn't just suddenly over pressure but gives plenty of warning. I did hope for a higher velocity, but the AB's are hard, and seem hard to run fast.

Not sure my COAL is 83.5 mm which is mag fit for my T3 Tikka. Just remember that superformance is a temp sensitive powder so what might be fine in winter could be hot in summer.
My load of 57 grs Superformance hasn't caused me any grief so I will stick with it at the moment.
What is your new 270 Win , wouldn't be a Sako by any chance?

nah wish it was, its a control feed model 70 which should still be a beautiful rifle to work with. pretty sure that the mag box will allow for 20thou off the lands so will start there. Wont be stoking them super fast if I can get around 3k fps I will be pretty happy
