[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 1675760, member: 4809"] Rifle: Tikka T3-X in 270 WSM. Bullet: 145 gr. ELD-X Powder: 70.5 gr. Retumbo Velocity: 3,150 fps (ave.) I have heard mixed reviews on the ELD-X. Given that I like heavy bullets, I plan on trying something a little heavier. Berger has their new 170 gr. EOL bullet coming out. Recommended twist is 1:9. Even though the T3-X has 1:10 twist, I have found that higher velocities can sometimes compensate for higher twist rate - at least out to moderate ranges. Since this rifle is stock, it is not a true 'long-range' rig for me, so I'm hoping I can get this new bullet to stabilize out to 600 yds or so, even with 10 twist barrel. [/QUOTE]
