Load Suggestions with New 270 ELD-X

Here are some loads I used for my 270 wsm Tikka. Using RL 19 and the 145 ELD X starting load was 59.5 working all the way up to 62.0 with no pressure signs. These are all three shot groups at 100 yards temperature was 40 degrees that day with no wind hope this helps KIMG0263.jpgKIMG0268.jpgvelocity range from 3088 to 3190

I've loaded some with 57 grains of superperformence and got 3014 fps average but seemed to fast didn't group well so I want to try some RL 22 with 56.5 grain should be 2950 and 56 grains of superperformens and should be 2960 or close.
 
I have a Tikka t3 light in 270 win with 22.5" barrel. Worked up a load with the eldx and R26 with Hornady brass and cci250 primers. Went all the way up to 61.7 g and seen 3 shot average velocities around 3080 but had one slightly stiff extraction and some pretty flat primers so backed off to 61 gr where group was tighter and no pressure signs. Rifle seems happy with this load. Tested today at 200 y indoor range. 3 shot groups holding right at 1.25"@200 y. Velocity averaging about 3010. Sd running from 12 to 14. I'm very happy with that performance but no game killed with this load yet.
