    270 Precision Hunter slower than Grandma’s vitz?

    Hey guys, so fairly inexperienced and also not super worried but I have been shooting my 270 today, it’s a 21” model 70 with a 1:10 twist. Shooting factory precision hunter 145 eldx.
    2” high at 100y
    190y zero
    2.5” low at 235y
    21” low at 377y
    It’s a 3-9x40 leupold scope and I’m not dialing nor do I have a chronograph, just shooting at a target and measuring my drop. Using the Hornady app it seems the load is only doing 2635fps? Anybody else experiencing this or have I done something wrong?
    Again this is a close to mid range hunting rifle and I’m not overly worried about the speed it’s shooting under moa and will do just fine for what I intend on using it for but I was surprised at the low speed and was hoping for possibly a touch more speed resulting in less drop for hold over shots at more distance 300y ish
    Curious on others experiences or tips.
    Cheers
