Has anyone here loaded the 270gr ELD-X with N565? doesn't seem to be any data online for this combo. Vihtavouri website has data for 250 and 300gr but no 270.
Vihtavouri has min 80.4grs to max 90.3grs for the 250 scenar and min 77.2grs to max 84.9grs for the 300 scenar.
Should I just split the difference and start around 78.5grs with the 270? Onviously I plan to work up slowly to find pressure.

Thanks a bunch, I'll start at 80 and work my way up. I'll report back so there's some data on here.
Starting load development for a DT SRS M2 26" 338LM and looking for a reality check. I have N570 and 285gr ELD-M with CCI 250, starting with .020 jump.
Planning on 92.9, 93.3, 93.7, 94.1 and 94.5 to start. Anyone with some experience that can let me know if I'm in a good place to begin?

I think you're starting kind of high. I think you'll find something in the 92-93gr zone will be ideal in that combo.
I agree with Dogtown. 92+ grain is kinda high to start. Im at 90.0 gn of N570 with 300 grain Atip and 285 eld. Im also running a 30” barrel
I found good SDs from 91.0 to 92.3, will check that range again after barrel break in and pick something.
91.7 @2838 is best so far, 26"
I'm using 285 ELDM and get .5 to .7 MOA without any fine tuning yet.

Damn, that sucks. I thought 10-12 weeks with SAC was bad last winter. The upside was they did 3 for me at same time.
