    Moa Hunter liked post by NewbieZAR On thread : 270 not liking ELD-X. What should I try?
    I dont know why more people dont use 2217 in the 270. Its the best ADI powder for heavy bullets. I can get a 150 (sgk,vld,ablr) all going just over 3000fps in my T3x which is in the 7mm rem mag...

    if you are concerned about lead contamination then just use lead free bullets, but yeah you do run the risk of ingesting lead dust when you shoot with regular bullets. I am not personally too...

    For that distance, any soft point 150gr and up will be fine. I would personally go for the PPU 150gr SP or the Belmont 150gr as its loaded with the hornady interlock.

    I use the pro hunters, the BC is rubbish but keeping the shot this side of 350 they work fine, full penetration on broadside shots and the deer drop quick enough. They are a good bullet, cheap too,...
