Thread: Tikka 270 145eldx load

As above, has anybody cracked an accurate load?
Got plenty of the relavent adi powders on hand
Just a thought to ask all the other bored reloaders some info.
I have got 900 6.5 cases to clean anneal size trim and load!
That's me for a bit

2213sc 58gn @2.698" ogive length (basically as long as my mag allows) gives 2930fps and under 1/2 moa in sako a7.
Work up to it but around 58 gn should see you right

I'm loading for a mates Sako .270 and using Hodgdon superprofrmance powder with the ELDX

60.0gn 2213sc, Norma Brass, Win LR primer, COAL 3.340 averaging .75MOA for 3100fps

This is out of a build with a 27in barrel though and the loads relatively warm

I think its @Mooseman who uses Superformance and gets fantastic results.

I know the Duleys use superformance in their 270 bushpigs for very good results.

I left my 2213 back in taihape and never stocked super performance as like to stick to adi.
I got plenty 09 06h 08 and 2225 and some 2217.
Good advice guys !
Keep it coming

Yep 57 grs of Superformance with the 145 eldx is pretty damn good, it is ok in my Tikka but always work up to it. One hole group is the best I have done at 100 yds. Velocity is up there at 3100 fps

57grs of 2213 sc with the 150 gr Noslar Partition only achieved 2809 fps.

Have had great success with reloader23 in an a7 3000+ FPS ragged hole groups
As said work your way up find that sweet spot👍🏻For me I have no complaints seem to work well in the field.

Does work up start at max.
That's what buzzman told me

I have read up a lot on various 270 loads as I want to improve on 2213. Sorting through the chaff I found very well conducted testing with RL26. It gave great velocity but with no ejector scrape or other common signs of pressure it wrecked the primer pockets. Even when loads were reduced right down the primers were loose. A 24" barrel produced only 7fps velocity increase over a 22". The person who produced the youtube vid said ' This is a most unusual powder, I have never found another powder to behave like this ever before". On a load development thread Superformance gave consistently good results with no high pressure spikes and one poster wrote that the Superformance brew that is sold to the public is the one that Hornady load in 3006, hence it's suitability for 06 based cases. Loads above 57 grn were not uncommon, with 60 grn SF behind a 129gr LRX producing 3350 with 23" barrel and 58.5 in the same rifle 3200. Rule of thumb was to start with lowest weight for 2213 and increase 1/2 gr intervals. 130 gr Barnes TSX on 59 gr SF 3150fps. 140 TSX 58gr SF 26" barrel 3202 130 TSX 59.5 SF 26" barrel 3296.

Start at max and work up from there

2213sc 59.5grs, 3/4 inch at 100m. Verified drops velocity works out at 2940fps.

Rifle's a Tikka t3x 22inch barrel with can, kills very well out to 500 so far.

Yes I get good speed with the 178 gr ELDX in my 3006 with the Superformance powder too. Accuracy about an inch with that load.
