Hope this helps. Hodgdon has data for a 275 Speer soft point with h4350. Nosler for a 265 ablr with both 7828 and imr4350.
Neither of these are heavily constructed projectiles, definitely similar ballpark pressure behaviour as the 270 eld x with similar charge weights. Obviously begin at starting loads but should be fine as a reference point.

No problem and welcome to LRH! I see you're relatively new here. This is an awesome place to learn. I think i legit learn something new here every week and there's lots of great folks to talk to.
Sometimes we do get a little "riled up" but that happens inevitably whenever you get a bunch of red blooded people who are passionate about their common interest i under the same roof haha
Welcome to the club- LRH. How do you like the 340, I have given some thought to a big 33. I have a couple RUMS one in 7mm and 2 in 300. And a hand full of Bees, one in 30-378. So I'm about to flip a coin on BEE OR RUM.

We (wife) only have the little 338 WM…..but personally, I'd lean toward the RUM! But, that's just me! memtb

Nosler has load data for 265, for 7828 and 4350. I tried the 230 ELDX in my 340 a few years ago , I got them to shoot but they would not shoot at mag. length and was over pressure 1 gr over starting load.
I have one of those too but I'm just shooting factory HSM ammo through it right now. Have some 254gr hammers to load when the factory stuff is gone.
Thank you. Lots of great knowledge on this site. I like the 340 but haven't had it long. Got gifted to me by a good friend last summer. Hopefully going to kill an elk with it this fall Lord willing.Welcome to the club- LRH. How do you like the 340, I have given some thought to a big 33. I have a couple RUMS one in 7mm and 2 in 300.
