[QUOTE="James Pearson, post: 1727601, member: 111455"] Ok, here’s what we ended up with today. 145gr ELD-X, Hornady brass, 59.5gr H4831, CCI 250 primers, CBTO of 2.730; 3/4 MOA @ 200 yards with ES of 8, average FPS=3018. This was a five round test group, along with several others but not the best. Best came with CBTO of 2.745, but these won’t fit into my magazine. They are about .010 too long. I think a metal mag rather than plastic would accommodate the extra length but I’m not sure anyone makes them? I’m stopping the work up here and going to load a large batch and run longer range work with them. I’ll try to remember to post something later on and share some of that data also. Thanks for the pointers and the company. I hope this helps someone else trying to find a good .270/145 ELDX load. And just because it worked for me, start LOW and work up to your own components potential. Safety First! [/QUOTE]
