[QUOTE="Don Titus, post: 1293095, member: 61851"] I've been shooting the 200 ELDX in my Rem. 700 in 300 WM for about a year with good success once I got the load doped out: 73 gr. H4831sc at .008" off the lands. Groups are sub 1/2 MOA at 200 yards. That said, I always weigh my bullets and I usually get about 30% right on the "money" @ 200, with the majority of the remainder no more than .3 gr. below that, rarely do they exceed 200. I just weighed a new batch and all but 5 out of 100 were between 199.3 and 199.7 with 4 @ 199.8 and 1 at 199.9. I know it all depends on machine settings and where my "batch" is in the "run" for a particular machine setting, but I am a bit disappointed. For hunting big game, I like to load a "perfect" bullet, I.e. 200 gr. and I make sure as many of the other variables (powder weight, LOA, crimp, etc. are "dead on". [/QUOTE]
