Let me know how that nitride coating work. I've read about that as being better than moly. Haven't tried moly either, but was going to.

+1 I'm really interested in seeing figures on a nitrided barrel versus standard CM or stainless.
Most of the loads I see on loaddata for the 270 gibbs are around 3200 with the max at 3280
I would try RL17 and you could probably get to 3400 + with a long barrel.
I dont have my barrel yet, but alliant has a 130 gr RL17 load running at 3135 at 3.2" col.
I have found with RL17 you can push their load data a good bit so it should be easy to hit 3200.
If you dont have access to loaddata I can post the load info here.
Hi my personal favorate is 90gr sierra propelled by 55gr of varget, I have hit 3600 plus on the chrono with excelint grouping and without mutilating the brass or needing a prybar to lift the bolt.
As allways re loaders beware.
