[QUOTE="Lrt307, post: 1377004, member: 57068"] I know this thread is about the 285 eld m but I havent got my 338 rum back from smith yet to try them. I did however try the 180 grain eld m in my 7mag that I used to shoot 180 bergers. My load for the 180 berger was 71 grains retumbo which put me right close to psi. No marks on case or stiff bolt lift unless extremely cold. Then slight plunger mark. I loaded up 70 grains retumbo in mine with Nosler brass and it shot sub .5moa. Yesterday we put 71 grains in my dads and it 1 holed 2 different seating depth groups but was right into psi leaving plunger marks. We will back his off slightly and try it again. Probably 70.5 or 70.7 will do the trick. My point behind all of this is that I have found retumbo performs its best right under psi. Typically single digit es and good shooting. I cant wait to try the 285s myself! [/QUOTE]
