[QUOTE="Justin Bond, post: 1621322, member: 109890"] Hi all, I'm shooting a .270 WSM Remington 700 (1973) with a 24" barrel. It has always been a good shooting gun. My go to bullet is a 130 gr Hornady Interbond or a 130 gr SST. I shoot that gun with those bullets comfortably out to 700 yards with IMR 4831 or RL 17. I've shot 4 deer in the last three years with that gun and never hesitated about it's performance. I recently had someone recommend the Hornady 145 gr ELD X, and I just can't get them to shoot well. I'm loading 58 grains of RL 17. The max seating from the ogive for that bullet in my gun is 2.310. I've tried 2.30, 2.290, 2.280, 2.270. I've also went up to 60 grains of RL 17 and down to 56 grains of RL 17. Anyone had trouble grouping those ELD X's. Maybe my gun just doesn't like that type of bullet? Thanks [/QUOTE]
