[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1326977, member: 13833"] I made it out for a test with the 147's and RL26 today with some pretty promising results. I had shot a ladder a couple days ago and decided on 56.7 grains of RL26 behind the 147 ELDM at a coal of 2.770". (This will fit in ANYTHING folks!) I first ran it over the Magspeed for a MV of 3107' *Max is something around 3160'. I adjusted the scope and fired a 3 shot group at 100 yards to confirm zero. They were slightly low but went into .166". Looking good so far! I adjusted the scope up 1/2 moa then backed off to 650 yards to shoot across a clearcut. The wind was variable at about 3-8 mph from 6:30 to 8:30. I used the .351 advertised b.c. and dialed up 9.75 moa and fired 4 shots which went into just over 4 inches. The group was a little high and right so I adjusted the scope and fired another 4 shots. The wind had moved to pretty much 8:30 and was on and off during the 4 shot group which showed up big time on paper. I am super impressed with this cartridge thus far as it is very easy to work with and does not give up a lot to the Big Brother SS!
