    You guys are getting some good performance from your 270's. Modern powders and components sure have breathed some new life into the old codger.

    I expect that this might create a bit of a resurgence in its popularity.

    By comparison my 270wsm (Sako A7, 22" barrel) is achieving 3130fps with the 145eldx. I could push it a bit more but Im at a nice accuracy node. I guess the only advantage of the wsm is that its doing it easily when the standard .270 is at its max.

    But then again I'm using a bucket of powder to do it.

    wow that's really not far off what I'm getting with my standard .270 145g ELDX @2930fps F all in it if you ask my that wasn't a hot load and there was room to stoke it up more but it's very accurate so I'm more than happy with it.
    no pressure signs at all.

    Exactly. You wouldn’t keep up with the 150 grn though. I get the same velocity with them as the 145.

    What weight of powder do you use with the 145 ELD X and the 150 gr. From memory I was using 63-64 grs ? of IMR 4350 in my 270 WSM in Canada with the 130 gr Barnes XLC for 3240 fps.
    Good load knocked the Mulie bucks over good.

    dannyb ...not being a smartarse but passing along a wee gem of wisdom picked up along the way..... notice the size of your group is similar to size of your aiming point???? try a diamond over the guts of a cross hair..I just use vivid marker like you used to draw mark for horizontal and verticle line and then a diamond over the center about 1" square,your fine crosshairs on scope will allow you to see smidgin of baking board around them inside the diamond and your brain will do the rest.... long and short of it ,if you use a 3" aiming mark your group will be 3" if you use a 1/2" aiming mark......MUCH better chance of 1/2" group...if you want to stay with your dot...make it smaller.

    These days I generally draw a diamond as a target, and aim for the bottom point. Helps make a really precise point of aim.

    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
