[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1325584, member: 33159"] Using the ELDX bullet, I shoot the 143 gr in my 6.5-284 Norma and the 200 gr in my 300 WSM. Both give me a ragged hole that is around 0.3 moa. But, it took me some time to find these loads. The ELDX bullets are very finicky and vary in seating depth. Some calibers like a lot of jump, others not so much. Pay attention to the recommended twist rate, too. I went through 2 boxes trying to get the 175 gr in my 7 STW to shoot better than 1 moa. I couldn't, which was most likely to my slower twist rate. Use the Berger seating depth protocol to find your best COAL. Then work up you load from there and you should find a very nice sub moa load. [/QUOTE]
