Thanks Kurlyman
I really appreciate it. We don't have a suppressor on the 270. I have on my 308 and 7mm08 and found it's really improved my shooting. I have recommended my Father in law gets one....

Thanks Kurlyman,
Yep it's a very interesting topic and one I'm keen to keep tabs on. I'm spending more time on my father in laws 270 than my own 308 and 7mm08. Got lucky with the 308 as that loads a...

Thanks Kurlyman, look forward to hearing how you go. I'm to inexperienced to delve into the projectile argument but everyone's points are valid, let's keep it civil.

Thanks Shearer, good to know. Yep I've only been going off the ADI chart.
I guess it's just a case of starting of slow and gradual increases.
Should just choose a powder and go for it. Maybe see...

I am still interested in the capacity and burn rate relationship. As I need to develop a load for 110gr 308 zmax and want to play around with the 7mm08 too. It's all good fun

Yeah it did seem a little nuts to me too. Think I might be pushing shit up hill to get super performance the foster way and just rely on getting consistent groups at what ever speed that is. SST...

Thanks Johnd and kurlyman,
I have only used 2208 for 308 and 7mm08 so haven't tried any other powder. But John your right it does seem to be more readily available. Yes I'm aware of the burn rates...

Hi Guys

another quick question in relation to powder loads and case capacities. Looking at the max load for both 2209 and 2213SC in the ADI manual, for a 150gr projectile.
2209 max load: 49 gr...

Thanks John,

Yes I intend to work up a load eventually. Need to get hold of a chrony and the rifle to measure up. Looks like I'll be starting with 2213sc
Thanks heaps for your input

Hi dogmatix
Have you read Nathan fosters info as Kurlyman suggests, do you anneal the projectile? If not how do you find the sst at "not to fast" speeds?
Is not to fast below 2800fps?

Cheers...

Cheers guys,

My father in law lives in Hawkes bay so predominately Reds and little bit of Sika.
Thanks Kurlyman, I've got Nathan fosters reloading book, I'll check out his website for notes on...

cheers Shearer, i'll look into that, who makes h335? is it reasonably easy to get in or near taupo?

Cheers

Cheers guys
I'm currently using 2208 for my 308 and 7mm08 so was more thinking of something that could be used for experimentation with smaller rounds (110gr 308)
not really worried about the cross...

Hi guys
I was hoping for some advice and ideas on powder loads for my father in laws 270?

we've got hornady sst 150 gr rounds and I'd probably prefer to use an ADI powder and something that could...
