145g ELD-X In 270WSM What's Working For You?

[killswithkimber]

I just picked up a box of 145g Hornady ELD-X for my 270 WSM and I am looking for a good load to start my reloading process. Is there anyone out there that has had any success with this bullet? Any input is appreciated!

No one has tried this combo yet?

I want to try that 140 gr.eld-x in my sons 270wsm also but they are hard to come by here

I'm not much help with the 270, but I really like the 200 grain ELD-X c/w in my 300 Win Mag

guy I know is loading H4831sc 63.0grs under the 145gr ELD-X in an Xbolt 270WSM . He reports good accuracy

Old thread but just wondering if anyone has got the 145 gr eld x to shoot in the 270wsm. I tried 150gr long range accubonds with federal brass. Premature pressure signs and dissappointing velocities with imr 7828, retumbo and reloader 22. Velocities were good with H1000 but groups sucked and pressures were too high.

I worked up a load with H1000 powder settled at 66.5gr with 145gr ELD-X bullets, 5 shot average velocity at 3186fps

64.8gr. RL 26 and 145 eld-x gave me 3100'/sec and good accuracy
