You will EASILY get to 3150'ish with 26. I use 26 with 150 Partitions and Bitterroots. The last time I chrono'ed them they ran 3200 on the nose. Accurate too.

I'd think those 145's should be a wicked load at distance.
 
Gonna keep up with this thread. Been doing some loading on my Brother in laws 270 WSM. Should be a great long range hammer. What are the B.C. On these bullets? I know when the ELD-X's first came out there were a lot of reports on them being soft. Curious how they may hold up on close up shots.

I have not tried the ELD-X yet, but it sound like a good combination. I am currently working with RL 26 and
150g Speer BTSP and have excellent accuracy at an average velocity of 3152 fps. No pressure signs.

Interested to see how the work, let us know, thanks.
