Default .277 145 gr ELD X bullet

Wondering if anyone has tried these in a 270 wsm or 270 win? I tried some 150 lrab in my 270wsm, velocities and groups were terrible so i have decided to take a new approach. I got rid of the junk Federal brass that came with loose primer pockets, bought new Nosler brass and the 145gr ELDX and Reloader 26. Hoping to give this a try in the next few weeks.

I just developed a load for my 270 wsm using these bullets and rl 26. I had brass issues with new Federal brass also and switched to Norma brass.

FWIW I load for my 6.5x55 143 grain ELD-X with Nosler brass. Most wonderful accuracy and brass is now fired 12x and looking like new. Great stuff.
