And with the 2700 fps what powder are you using in that 24" barrel that is temperature stable to get that and what amount of powder?

I was pretty clear in my initial comparison that the .270 Win 145 gr ELD-X and 6.5 CM 147 gr ELD-M were both factory loads, for a fair comparison, and the velocity on the 147 gr load is listed as 2567 fps.

In my rifles I shoot handloads using mainly H4350 and IMR4451, though I’ve got a good load with R26, as well.
Jordan, what load of H4350 are you using to get 2700 fps with the 147 grain projectile and what barrel length? Can you stop evading this question.

I don't usually list my specific load data online, since there are so many variables that my data is largely meaningless to anyone else, but since you're so insistent and want to know so badly, here's an example for you:

Moly-coated 147 gr ELD-M
DBC coated bore at 21"
Hornady brass
42.5 gr H4350
Dominion LR primer
Average 2685 fps

Two other identical rifles have 22" DBC-coated barrels and use 41.5 gr IMR4451 to get a moly-coated 147 gr ELD to just over 2700 fps ave., and yet another rifle has a 26" barrel and uses 41 gr of IMR4451 to get 2755 fps ave.
