Tip:
You can color the bullets for the different charge weights with "sharpies ". That way you don't have to walk to the target after each shot.

LoL I don't thank the paint would stick on the target.

Neither did I, till I tried it. Go to Walmart. Get a pack of white poster paper @. 3'x2'... the sharpie actually prints color around the holes in the target. Makes separating groups a lot easier.

What's RL26. I think like the unicorn, it's a myth.

Kinda like RETUMBO.

I need some help. I tried the 162 ELDX with h1000 with great results at 100 yards. However, when I take it out to 5,6,700, I cannot hit a thing. I think that the gun has a 1-9.5, but I am not 100% sure. I am not key holing at 100. Could this be a stabilization issue?

Have you chronographed this load? It could just have very inconsistent velocities. The 9.5 twist should be plenty to stabilize that 162 ELD-X.

what does it do at 200, 300, & 400 yds?

Try at 200, then 300 and continue from there. Eventually your target should tell you what's happening. I had a 300WSM that shot lights out at 100 but couldn't hit anything beyond 350 yards.

I like to put a video camera at the target. I know the order that I'm shooting them in. So I just review the tape later and see each hole as it shows up. Then translate that back to my target. Pretty simple and can use a cheap old camera.

Yes sir. That will work. Save some time too.
