Super should work fine. I’ve seen everything from 4895 to 4831 work great. I use a lot of RL17 in mine which is right in line with Super as far as burn rate.

Very cool. Love the Sako 222 and 222 Mags.

In use a PAST recoil shield on my shoulder and shoot standing up with boomers.

Makes sense. I like that CTR platform quite a lot. I think I’d likely trim the barrel back some just for handling but otherwise, for their weight they are pretty handy and very comfortable to get behind.

I’m pretty tempted to get a CTR as a fun rifle. I have a Howa 6 cm that’s been excellent as well. I can’t see you disliking it. I bet you’ll love it.

I’d probably clean up everything nicely, ditch the powder, check the twist rate and start with that. I’d almost find it hard to believe the 100 grain CL didn’t work since it’s a fairly stubby bullet, even in a 1-12 if it’s that early of a rifle. Give everything a good once over, figure out...

That’s a fact Jim. It is a hot rod in so many cartridges.

That’s pretty wicked buddy. Not much you can’t do with that, from prairie dogs to elk!

Yeah, that’s an elk killer in my book. 26 is a screamer in a 270 Win. Always been accurate for me as well. I don’t tell the elk or deer it’s not as temp stable as H4831 and we all get along nicely :cool:

Not me. It hammers in a 270 Win. I wouldn’t give away an ounce of the stuff in order to feed my 270’s. 3000-3050 easy in 22” guns with 150’s and 3150+ with 130’s.

I’d say you have a winner myself with your .100 load. And your velocity jump is within the realm of normal in my opinion with a ball powder like Grand. My 7 Rem shoots the 145 LRX very much like that at 3200 and has been very accurate to over 500 yards.

That 147 at 3k should be a demon. I do like that 147.. just an easy bullet to like.

I have noted they need to be loaded straight as possible. Same for all bullets, but they seem to be a bit more critical of run out. Once I started paying attention to neck tension and trying a few seating depths I have done pretty decent with them. One thing I haven't tried is lightly...

Agreed. Or a faster or slower powder.

Great reports fellas. I like them myself. Wished they'd make a heavy 6mm..
