Thread: More 270 Win Loads

270WIN
140 Berger
Supercharger 57.8

3100 fps Magneto

Accurate. 12mm 3 shot group.

Miruko M-bolt. Factory barrel.

This is impressive in terms of speed. But I had some difficulty maintaining tight groupings. I think it may be temperature sensitive

Wow. It sure has given the 270 new legs. I can't do much better with my 270wsm.

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 ?

I've loaded the ELDX and superprofrmance in a mates .270 it shot very well but I can't say how the bullets perform on game as it wasn't mine.
But good speed and accuracy, I use it in a number of caliber's it's awesome

sorry poorly worded I have used 145gn eldx on quite a few deer no issues with how they perform on animals was more curious on if it was still giving good results in consistent speed, accuracy and case life ?

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.

Yep it is my go to load for the 270 Win, seems to work well so won't be changing anytime soon.

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.

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

Nice rifle, 3000fps should be easy doable , another mate of mines tikka does 3030 fps with 56 grs and the 145 gr ELDX
