    .270 ELD-X Load Advice Please

    G’Day Blokes,

    Anyone loading ELD-X in .270 out there? I don’t have any experience with this chambering but seem to have bought a CDL SF on a whim. Which powders are the go, and what sort of velocity might I get from a 24” barrel?

    Thanks in advance.

    Go back a page or 2. There was a multi page thread that was really helpful

    Guys are getting awesome speeds out of superformice
    Currently developing a load for a mates rem700
    Using superformice and the 145 eldx
    Speed certainly there 2850-2900 from his 18 inch barrel
    Accuracy has been the tough part (in this rifle)
    Started out at 1.5-2 inches at 100
    A few adjustments has seen the group’s Shrink to just a hair over half an inch
    So it’s getting there if I can get it to shoot consistently at 1/2 inch or better at 2850+ that’s the goal

    As superdiver says look at the thread on page 2 of the reloading Section

    Use either Hodgdon superprofrmance or RL26 you will be over3000fps with your 24" barrel.

    59.5grs of 2213sc gives me 2940fps out of a 22inch barrel with suppressor. Shoots 3/4inch @100yds.

    Thanks for the advice guys.

    I got excited at my new rifle and stupidly didn’t think to search for previous threads.

    Very useful advice here and on previous threads.

    Cheers and happy post-lockdown hunting.
