[Lapua904]

Chris, thanks for the feedback,haven't been able o shoot mne yet. I had to go back in the hospita ldue to covid comlications from 2 years ago. I can't breathe properly. It's stil l sitting here in the corner. What I'm looking for is a huntng bullet for hitetail deer. I have some 80gr A-max's and some 88 Eldm's. Am bulding a new shooting bench amd hoe to get out this spring. I have 75 and 80 Eldm's also. could you send me some of your loads? Don't worry, I've been loading for 40 years. Thanks again. powdr

I don't have exact load data but I do know we used H4350, Superformance and H4831sc with 75, 80 and 88 grain ELD-M's
88gn Eld-m's in my 26 inch 7 twist barrel with 37 grains of H4350 was just over 3000 fps graduated at .5 grains
up to 42 grains and 3400+ fps with little pressure signs

I'm not a reloader, just a shooter

RL16 with CCI 450s and 64 TGKs works just fine for me. Right around 3420

I've been hot rodding bullets for 16 years and I've never seen one blow up. Ever, in any cartridge.
Guess I'm just lucky.

I'll be working up some 85.5 bergers pretty soon in my 7 twist. Been shooting 88's and 90's with 6.5 staball around 3140 and really happy with the load, just curious how the slower powder performs

Shot my 22 Creed out to 1300 yards yesterday with Copper Creek 75 grain Eld-M's
No problems hitting at that distance
