[QUOTE="James Pearson, post: 1738451, member: 111455"] I just went through development on the 145 ELD-X. I have two .270’s, 22” barrels and they both hated the factory ammo. But I do reload and I’m hard headed, so I set to it and finally got a load developed in one rifle that is sub MOA and tapping an 8” plate at 600 yards. It is actually performing better at distance than at 200! I think that the heavier bullet is stabilizing better at range. MV is 3014 +/- 6Fps on the chrony, zeroed at 200 with about a .85” group. I too just acquired a new Sako .270 24” that I’m sending out for additional work before I start with it. Looking forward to better range and MOA with the Sako, hopefully. Sending your gun out or having a local Smith work up a load for you could get you going until you put together your own loading. If you ever do, you’ll never run factory ammo again. Good luck!
