[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1251248, member: 78438"] 7mm rem mag with 175 eldx .060 off 1:9 27" brux #6 sub 1/2 moa stable to 1400 have not shot it past 1400 yet sd 6 3086fps.....same rifle shot the 180 berger hybrids at 2995 I load one more grain of retumbo behind the eldx 280 ai with 162 eldx also .060 off 1:9 three groove lilja 25" #4 1/2-5/8 moa sd 11 2920fps....same rifle shot the 168 berger at 2840 I load .5 grains more 4831sc behind the eldx A friend of mine has a 300 norma and switched from the 215 berger to the 212 eldx, he said he's getting 50fps better with the same load, I don't have those velocities. He killed a cow elk at 450, said she just dropped, the shot was not in the shoulder, just a double lung behind the shoulder. So far this year my friends, family, and I have taken 4 muley's, 1 antelope, and 3 elk with eldx bullets ranging from 90 to 500 yards (nothing far yet) everything is just dropping in their tracks or taking a couple steps. we're all seeing better accuracy, easier to tune, better velocity, and better terminal performance with the eldx. Advertised BC using applied ballistics has been spot on to 1400 These rifles are all .040-.060 off, seating depth did not effect groups drastically like it does with the berger vld's, but they seem to like a little jump. That's all I got. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
