Is anyone loading 270 Lead free in a Tikka? Online apps and data have wildly varying charges with N160 as min and max and data from Sako that was up has gone, GRT and XXL do not list the Bullet either. Had been using 50.3g (Sako website did have 55.6 to 60.6 last year) but i'm struggling to find any in stock. A few folk have recommended Hornady CX 130 as an alternative (44.0 to 51.7 on XXL) I wondered if anyone had any suggestions of where to start with the CX Charge to save time/cost and get close so i can fine tune from there?
Hornady
- Thread starter Rich270
- Start date
load as a standard 130gr
53-55gr N160
anyone else's data will still require a work up
QL data is often conservative

There is so much conflicting data out there, Viht app has a very limited selection of bullets, Nosler BT 130 is close in BC and length and comes in at 51 to 55, Hornady App only lists N165 but lists RL19 as 50.6 to 60 whereas GRT suggests 47-52. Only XXLreloading has the powder and the head in the library which is 44-51. GRT modelling is really consistent with other loads ive checked but for some reason its forecasting higher pressures for this particular combination.
