My son gave me a box of ELD-X 145 gr for my .270 win. Has anyone had any good results loading them.
 
I have not loaded any of the ELD-X bullets yet but I read and article recently about long range hunting bullets and the only one that rates by the was Berger bullet. (I think it was the Berger bullet)

Not exactly what you were looking for but I hope it helps.
 
I've been loading ELD-X bullets in 30 caliber and 6.5mm for several years. I've found them to be easy to load for and very accurate. I've not put one into game yet, but I've read plenty of success stories. They expand a little more than some guys like, but since all of them tend to be heavy for caliber penetration seems to be adequate. They are reasonably priced too.

Some of the high BC bullets don't match the advertised ratings, but some independent tests I've seen say the ELD bullets are among the closest. If I owned a 270 they would be near the top of my list. I'm shooting the 143's in my 6.5 Creedmoor and178's in my 308 and 30-06. They are what will be in my rifles this hunting season.
 
Thanks jmr40, sounds like I'll be loading them. Don't think I'll have a load worked up for this season, but will give them some range time.
Thanks again.
