I sold my 270 Win Browning X Bolt Hells Canyon in January 2024 and have been itching too add a 270 back into the safe. I was going to go with a 280AI but came across a good deal on a Tikka T3x Roughtech Tan and had to scoop it up. The barrels are now cerakoted on these rather than blued so that was a big plus for me. The scope I wanted was on backorder so I threw on a backup scope I keep in my gun safe and had wanted to test some handloads for it. Where I was shooting I could only shoot out to 50yrd since the pasture hadn't been cut and the grass was too tall to shoot at 100yds.
Ended up with some good data to mess around with and accuracy was promising for the first 30-35rds down the barrel.
140 TGK/RL 23 (52.5-56 grains)
130 Swift Scirocco/RL 23(53-56.5 grains)- Will retest with a faster powder
135 Sierra Matchking/n160 (55-58.5 grains)
130 SST/n555 (56 grains)- shot this load in my Browning and used it to get on paper
My scope came in today and I got it mounted. Turned out perfect and comes in at 8.75lbs with 4rds in the gun. The setup is:
Vortex Viper 3-15x44
Seekins low rings
Salmon River 20MOA rail
Limbsaver recoil pad
Vertical grip
Looking forward to stretching this one out to 100 next week to see what she can really do.
