So I have been shooting a 270 WSM for quite a while now. I love the gun and it performs really well. However, finding factory ammo for it can be a pain. I have mostly stuck with Winchester, I shot the XP3 and loved them, but then they were discontinued. So then I switched to the Accubond 140 grain and now it looks like they are going away as well. So I hate to keep switching, but here we are.
I was thinking of switching to the Hornady ELD-X they just released as factory loads for the 270 WSM. They are 145 grain. Has anyone used them for elk? How do they perform? I would like to be able to reach out a ways for mule deer, 5-600 yards or so. Most of my elk hunting though would be under that range. Any thoughts or other recommendations?
