I have a couple of tins of this powder sitting here and now my Reloder 26 is starting to look a little on the diminished side I thought I might give this stuff a go instead. I have done a search here on the forum and it looks like some of you are having good success with the 145gr eld x and this powder.
Have a Tikka and 130gr ssts and 150gr bergers that I wouldn't mind putting some superformance behind.
Load data appears to be pretty scarce so any info would be awesome!
I never ended up trying it in 270win, I am using it very successfully in the parent case 30-06 goes great.Quote:

Yip I load it in a couple of .270 one a Sako and the other a Browning.
Bother shoot real well with the only projectiles I have tried which is the 145 ELDX.
I'll check my load book for charge weight and speed but I think it's around 57 grn

It’s likely your better off going to 59g of ADI 2217 as its far more temp stable
Usual disclaimer of work up to this load etc etc
I think @Mooseman has a good load for it in .270? As I recall the velocity and accuracy was exceptional.
Later: Found it.

@TLB
Yeah the superformance wouldn't have been my first choice of powder especially seeing as the reloder 26 was working so well. However, I have 1kg of it so if there is an accurate load for either or both the 130s and 150s I might as well use it until something better comes along.Quote:

59gn, 130 SGK, 3159fps
57gn, 140 SGK, 3005fps
58gn, 140 Interlokt, 3062fps - very accurate and hits like the hammer of Thor!
Knowing the temperature stability issues, I tend to ensure that I use these loads in the colder months, or keep the cartridges away from the heat and sun. But it is an excellent choice for many 270's.
That "something better" is reloder 23 :)Quote:

Sshhh I need that good stuff for my rem mag! hahaQuote:

I tried 50 Gr Superformance with 140 Gr SMK in my 6.5 06 and got reasonable results. Around 2850 FPS and about .75" group at 100. Ok, but doesn't work as well as Re 22Quote:

Wonder if it would go any good in 270wsm :mouse:Quote:

SF gives very good velocity and accuracy in my T3 270. 57 grs is my load at col of 83.5 mm. I have shot a enlarged one hole group at 100 yds but only once generally an inch or just under. SF sits one slower than AR 2213SC on the chart I have. It is temp sensitive so watch that in the warmer months. Velocity is heaps better with this powder at least 200 fps faster than other powders I have tried. AR 2213SC with 150 gr Partitions could only get just over 2800 fps, my 145 ELDX are close to 3100 fps . SF works very well in the 3006 as well.
Yip I use it in my 270.
