Decided that my winter project to tinker with is working up a load for my 270 that was passed down from my grandpa it’s an old husqvarna in a stock my great grandpa made so really just want to use it for sentimental value . I used to hunt with it every year but I started buying other rifles and using them instead. Having trouble picking a bullet to start I’ve narrowed it down to 130 Berger hunter, 140 Berger hunter, and 145 ELD-x.
I want to use this gun for deer and elk next year. Any 3 of these should hold enough velocity to do there job at any range I’m comfortable with shooting. Just wondering if anyone can share there experience with these choices. I already shoot bergers in my 28 Nosler and 6.5 prc so I know how well they work. But after seeing everyone success with eld-x I’m open to those too.
The barrel on this rifle is 21” so it will be shooting a bit slower than a standard length 270
