[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 1128214, member: 10723"] I went to the range yesterday and took my CED with me, along with five different rifles. I had a great time and the weather was almost perfect in the high 70's with low humidity and plenty of sun. Ntg- I shot my 270 Win with 150 SST's and 58.0 grains of IMR-7977 average velocity 2823/ft/sec. 58 is two grains below the max., so I think it would be easy to get 2900 + with this powder and a 150 grains bullet. 7mm Rem mag. 3033 ft/sec with Nosler LR Accubond and the max load of 70.9 grains of IMR-7977. Also good accuracy with one 3 shot group of .37 inches at 100. 270 WSM was the star of the day. 150 VLD, 66.0 grains of IMR-7977 in Norma cases and Fed 215 primes. 3143/ft/sec and with this load I shot one three shot group of .14 inches. I quit with this group because I knew if I shot more I would only get much worse. [/QUOTE]
