I have ADI reloading manuals that go back over many years, the max loads for many powders has been backed off by a considerable margin from the early days.

Nice work. I also had similar results with superformance in my .270 on the weekend. 3150 fps with 140gn nosler bt. Good news for all .270 reloaders.
