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

I don’t have input on either of those three bullets. I thought you might be interested to know that I have an 18.5” 270 that pushes the 140 Accubond at 2950fps. I think that’s really respectable and you’d probably 150 to 200fps be over that with 21”.
