7mm Rem Mag
ADG Brass
Fed 215M Primers
Ramshot Magnum
.020 off the lands
3.432 COAL
2800 FPS, light loaded for my daughter to use on deer.

Closest shot was 90 yards, pass through, fist size exit. Furthest 119 yards, pass through. I think we have six deer with this combo, everyone has been a pass through with only one running 45 yards.

7-300 win mag, H1000, .020 jump, 3250 fps. They were deadly and shot into 1/2 moa out to 1000

They shoot very well in my 7PRC. I've noticed that almost all of the ELD-M bullets shoot best at .015" off.

I've had good luck with them in both 280ai and 7 prc. Dropped last years buck n his track at 490 last year. With the prc. I will take them over a eldx any day.

I have a few boxes. Bought them for my 280AI. But haven't reloaded any.

7-08AI, Varget, Lapua brass, CCI primers, and about 0.030" jump. Works really well. Just under 2800 fps out of a 20" barrel.

284 win. Short Action. 2.985 OAL
3000 fps w/RL17. 25" barrel. Great deer round (for me out to around 400 yards).

Not really with RL17. I have a Long action 284 with a 29" barrel and using RL17 I can get over 3000 with 180s. Best accuracy is right at 3000 with it. I've pushed the SA to 3050 with no pressure but less accuracy. I prefer around 2975 for best accuracy and barrel life with both

That's the speed my 26" Benchmark 280AI prefers as well.
