300 Win Mag ELD-X load testing?

[WildRose]

I've had mixed results with Hornady brass. Their 280 AI brass was absolute garbage for me. Pretty much only 2 firings before primer pockets were gone. Now, a completely different story with their 6.5 Creed brass. I've got 8-10 firings on some now, and still going strong.
I've been really impressed with the Petersen brass I have. Will definitely try them in more chambering of mine.

Definitely seems to hold up better in lower pressure loads.

I've had zero issues with the .375 Ruger brass in my 375's but it doesn't last long in the 6.5LRM which I load pretty hot with heavy for caliber bullets.

I had bad luck with hornady brass too. I got 3 reloads on them and primer pockets no longer held a primer. Have been using peterson long and it seems to be holding up much better.

Yeah but comparing Peterson to Hornady is like apples and aardvarks haha

I like hornady bullets. Their brass and ammo I haven't been impressed with.

And @WildRose you're right, inferior product isn't the right way to describe it…product
That doesn't agree with your gun (though eld x seems to disagree with a lot more guns than accubonds do so I don't totally withdraw my wording haha).

My main point was that it had nothing to do with stabilization.

The sad thing is I've never owned a gun in any caliber that wouldn't shoot the Interbond or Accubonds well and neither company seems particularly motivated to produce any more of either.

I agree Interbond and the Original Accubonds Not the LR Accubonds

First time I've heard that and doesn't match my experience. Generally the complaint about Hornady is that heir brass is too soft and won't last.

My experience is somewhere in the middle. I prefer, Lapua, Petersen, ADG because they are stouter and last longer but I've never had a complaint either way with Hornady brass with the exception of the 7LRM brass they make to spec for Gunwerks.

I guess for once I'm just lucky with the Hornaday brass. Lapua does not make 300 Wim-Mag brass. Nosler does but it's just to soft for a 300 Win-Mag when your pushing bullet grains over 200 and speeds over 2850 ps. My load for my 300 Savage Long Range Hunter is 79.5-G of Retumbo 215-M primer and a Hornaday 212-ELDX @ 2960 fps with a standard deviation in the single digits for me I can shoot hole in hole @ 100-yards and a very small 1/4 clover leaf at 200-y. I don't always push a heavy bullet that fast but my rifle just likes that load. In the other calibers that I shoot I do like to use Nosler or Lapua when I can its much softer brass and you have do do less work on them right out of the box. I do neck turn and weight sort my all of my brass................Their is another good thread you read on this site about primer pockets expanding .

I had debated posting a few different links but this will suffice haha!

Lapua don't make 300 Win-Mag brass.

Did you even try to find out or just repeat yourself here?

On a positive note kudos on the load success. I too have a savage long range hunter .300 win mag and love it! I also found a load that can do a ragged hole at 100 or so, but single feed it with the 225 eld m over imr 8133.
