[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1491880, member: 307"] I was actually hoping Hornady would come out with a heavier ELD-X so I could give it a try in my .270 Allen Mag. I think the 145gn would be great in a longer tubed .270 Win or WSM, say 26-28", and would make a great LR deer swatter. Not sure how hard/soft the ELD's are. With my 30" barrel I can easily push 140-150 class pills to 3700fps. Kirby does have some recommendations when it comes to bullets for his creations. Right now I'm running 170gn Bergers at 3300fps with a very mild load of US-869 (93.0gn), but according to load data I've gotten from others, I can go close to 101gn with this bullet. Can't fathom what kinda speed I'd get with that much fuel!! :) [/QUOTE]
