Thread: More 270 Win Loads

Yes it was your results Grubby that prompted me to try Superformance and the ELD-X is the flavor of the month at the moment for me, just need a few deer to make a mistake and I can see how they work on game.
Currently running 178 gr ELD-X in my Tikka 300 Win Mag too. Last weekend put two shot into a bread and butter size target at 500 yards so they shoot well just need the live tissue test, maybe this weekend if it ain't to wet. Will post any results as they happen.

My load with the 178 gr ELDX in the 300 Win Mag was 73 grs AR 2213 SC for an average of 3003 fps around the inch at 100 yds.
I now use the 200 gr ELDX with 74 grs of RL 26 for an average of 2901 fps and about the same accuracy as the 178 ELDX.
I use a TikkaT3 with the standard length barrel. Work up to these loads starting several grains lower.
