Thread: 270 ELD 14 5grainers any good

Hey everyone, my rifle Rem 700 CDL shoots these really good (less than .5 MOA factory loading) anyone have experience with this projectile from ahunting perspective.. thinking about reloading with them.

I've only shot a few animals with them. But have gone well both in the factory precision hunter and with handloads. All between 100-400 yards so no experience in close.

I am using the 145 ELD-X with Reloader 22 in my Brno ZKK 600 in 270 and getting fantastic accuracy. I have yet to recover any projectiles so can't say how well they expand but I have found if the animal isn't too far away the meat damage can be a bit excessive.

Great on large red deer and Sika
Got friends using them out to 600-700 yrds on both, and no problem anchoring them

Prob the best projectile a 270 can use on our thin skinned game animals at longer ranges

I have shot reds and fallow from 20y to 430y with them and have found them to be fantastic for fast humane kills "one" of the best all round projectiles available for the 270 IMO

Very good projetile, consistent and reliable, shot over 150 deer with them, from 0-500m. Probably the best pill for 270 imo, does everything well.

thanks for your replies everyone, was interested in there short range capacity primarily.(heard they can stretch it out to 6-7 its a go I guess.

Chur those are my and the rifle setup's sweet spots
