    More 270 Win Loads

    Picked up some new projectiles the other day for my 270 Win. I decided to give the 145 gr ELD-X a go as they have a good BC and by all accounts they are pretty good on game.
    In my Tikka using ADI powder (AR 2213 SC) I have only been able to get around 2800 fps with the 150 gr Partition bullet so I decided to give Superformance powder a go as it's meant to deliver up to 200 fps more on what other powders can do. I have been told that some rifles don't like it and accuracy suffers. ( Can only but try it )
    Anyway I loaded up some rounds with 57grs of Superformance and the 145 gr ELD-X with CCI 200 primers (COAL 83.5mm) to fit the Tikka Magazine.
    Took them out today and set up a target at 100 yards and zeroed the scope about 1.6 inches high for about a 200 yard zero ( scope isn't a dial up model )
    I Chrono graphed the loads as I adjusted the scope and once right shot a 3 shot group. I couldn't believe it the three shots were pretty much one hole at 100yards, the speed these bullets were travelling at are the fastest I have ever seen in any of my 270's and averaged 3114 fps. This load I consider max for my rifle so work up to this load. As can be seen I have increased muzzle velocity by 300 odd fps and accuracy is exceptional. ( 5mm group center to center)
    This will be my go to load for a while now I would think.Name:  P1030009.jpg
