Thread: Sako 270wsm adi 2225 and 145gn eldx

As some of you know I've just had my sako re barreled and I've been itching to get it shooting.
I tried it with my old load or rl26 and it was absolutely shite like 3 " spread at 100 yards.
With all the hassle of trying to obtain rl26 I decided to try a more accessible powder that had been suggested to me cond time ago by a few of you guys.
ADI 2225
Well I am one very happy camper did 8 lots of 2 at each load.

The loads with a * next to them all shot around 1/2" to 3/4" but the best load was also the fastest





This was the fastest load






All in all a successful morning at the range

I did however suffer my first one of these on one of the lower charges.
Definitely not over pressure related as it was a fairly anemic load.
This brass is starting to get on a bit 6 maybe 7 reloads some of them pretty warm.
I will invest in some new brass next week.

You need to make one of these.

Wanna sell me yours ? If I made one it would be a very dangerous thing, happy to admit I'm not that skilled with my hands and don't really have much of a workshop. I'll probably look into paying someone to anneal my brass, it's not like it's a gong gun that sees hundreds of rounds it's purely a hunting rifle

Just do it by hand. I use my little camp stove and hold the case by the base wile rotating it. When its too hot to hold I dip the neck into water. Hey presto. Im only doing the neck.

Its fixed the split neck problem and toughened my finger skin at the same time.

Normal for wsm brass to split there

Mine did. I anneal every time I reload now. That's stopped it.

That's looking pretty damn good Danny, that should be one grunty load. Look forward to seeing a few animals you take with it.

Cool, I've just sorted my 7RM in a similar fashion. Was a toss up between that and 270wsm in a factory rifle. I'm sure I wudda been happy with either.
What brake is that? I've got a Maisey vari max on mine. Never used a brake before. Astonishing..bit shouty but basically no recoil.

It's a greystone titanium brake, it's not as good as my gunworks ported brake but plenty good enough and It's super light

Isn’t there someone who does it on an AMP for a reasonable price?
