An older buddy bought this rifle in the past year. Asked me to help him handload. We landed on 145 ELDx and, per Hornady manual, started with Re-19. Our target was around 3050 for no other reason than that's what a) Hornady's manual indicated was possible and b) his custom turret dial was set up for. (Yes, the dial was ordered before he shot it--long story.) Anyhow, Re-19 wasn't getting him close, so we moved to Re-26; objective achieved and, even better, great accuracy. I bought some Magpro, because I read it's "the 270 WSM powder" but haven't tried it due to aforementioned good results.
