Would you mind telling us what bullet/powder/OAL was for your .270. Thanks.
Same as what they asked. Did you chronograph the speed and what size groups does it shoot?

You can't just throw it out there for a nibble and leave us hanging. We like elk porn. We like cartridge porn. We like gun porn. We like the nuts and bolts too. We gotta have all the details.
Handloads or Factory Hornady loads? Inquiring minds want to know.

I tested this bullet but did not select it for my final load so no terminal performance data. In testing I hit 3018fps with the 145 ELD-X over 59gr H4831-SC with a 22" barrel (Over Hornady max) while doing an initial 6 OCW test from 57-59.5 in .5gr increments. Then took the best CW 58gr and did 3 CWs up in .1gr increments. Surprised me with .1gr increments of powder how quickly the velocity jumped going from 2938 @58.1 to 2966 @ 58.2 and 2984 @ 58.3. Didn't see great accuracy (2 out of 3 just under MOA) but velocity and SD were good overall. The best overall CW produced these results:
Did not care for the vertical spread which was between .9 - 1.25" across all 3 CWs. The 2984fps load produced a 1.03" grp with 1" of vertical and the SD was 11.4.
Edit: Went back and checked my notes and corrected the errors confused the .5 OCW with .1 OCW test. That'll teach me to go off my aging brain.
