[QUOTE="Chino Tom, post: 1722186, member: 80314"] I've been working up a load for my Tikka 270 for the 145 ELD-x. I had great success with the ELD-x in my 260 Rem for the last two years. My 270 liked RL22 with a 150 Partition but not so much with the 145 ELD-x. Good velocity, but not consistent accuracy. I had some RL17 and have had much better luck with it. 54.5 grains of RL17, Federal Match primers and Nosler brass, 3.34 COAL (magazine limit) results in repeatable 3000 fps and .75 MOA or less. One note on the Nosler Brass, I'm on the 4th reload on this lot and had my first case head separation. Out of the 50 pieces about 10 are showing stress lines. Not sure if I should can the remaining cases. Used new brass for this season's upcoming hunts. [/QUOTE]
