[QUOTE="bomberodevil, post: 2616413, member: 23175"] So here’s my dilemma, I’ve got my father’s Remington Model 721, chambered in .270 Win, built in 1952. I don’t need it for hunting, as I have three other rifles in good calibers that fit all of my hunting needs. I just would like my grandkids to be able to hunt with their great-grandfather’s rifle. It’s in great shape. I have worked up a load with Nosler 140 grain Ballistic Tip bullets that group about .700, so that’s decent for anything that my family would use it for. I’m thinking about trying a different bullet. I like the ELD-X bullet for a good all around performing bullet on medium sized game, but it only comes in 145 grain in the .277 line. Should I load the 145 ELDX, get the good performance and give up some speed and flatness, or drop down to 130 grain, get the speed back up, maybe with a Berger Classic Hunter? Or just stay with the 140 grain BT? Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
