[QUOTE="pills, post: 1334854, member: 22576"] I am shooting a 6.5x284 and I worked up a good load using 52g H4831sc and a 140g Berger VLD hunting bullet loaded .020 off the lands. This load shoots .5MOA and is 2840FPS. I have started trying to develop a load for the 143g ELD X as I think it will have better performance on game. Last fall I shot a medium sized doe in the spine, Berger exploded on impact and came out the top. I wanted a bullet that would hold together better in case of a front shot or a high shoulder shot. So far my results with the ELD X have not been so good, worked OAL from .010 jump out to .130 jump with 51g of H4831sc and the best loads are just under 1 MOA. Is anyone else shooting this bullet with goo results? The other day I weighed 6 Berger bullets, 140g... 5 were 140.0g and 1 @140.1... The 143 ELD X? not so good weighed 10.. anywhere from 142.5g to 143.5g and none were right on @143g. maybe the quality control is not good enough to get Berger type accuracy [/QUOTE]
