    Last year I put some .270 loads through Labradar, Tikka T3 .270 standard 22" Barrel, Oceania Defense Suppressor and this is what I found in this rifle.

    140 SST Super-performance Factory
    Ave Velocity 3042 fps
    Didn't group well

    145 ELD-X Precision Hunter
    Ave Velocity 2824 fps (Hornady claim 2970 from 24" barrel)
    Very accurate, ragged hole

    145 ELD-X Handload Super-Performance, accurate final load (details on thread on forum)
    Ave Velocity 3045 fps
    Very accurate, ragged hole again. Must have got into next node up from factory loads.
    Emphatic killer on animals.
