Hmm. I'm not a 7 guy at all but that's intriguing. Will be following along.

I need to get my nmi improved out. Watching you and all your recent builds gets me a little more motivated. I have 4 new ones in the safe that have yet to be shot… gotta get them up and running for this next year. I'm a Berger guy through and through but I watched my buddy kill a couple bulls this year with the 225's outa his 300prc I put together for him. Has me thinking I should give them a try. They flat kill and shot so well

Thank you!
I'm really liking it!
Oh I love Berger's too!! But the ELDM's have been shooting great for me and the 225's had great performance last season also.
I would not hesitate to shoot either bullet in a heavy for caliber bullet weight!

Went to do an actual zero this morning. 3 shots only.
I'm getting 3060fps Ave. with a 208 ELDM and 89gr. H1000 out of a 24" barrel.
Dialed .2 Mils left, and set the zero. Then went straight to 800 yards.
Elevation looked good.
More shooting to come. Just wanted it somewhat dialed in case I get the opportunity to kill something with it in the near future.

I'm super happy with this setup. Just enough weight to easily spot impacts, but still be light enough for pack-in hunts. I think that 9-10lb range is solid for bigger magnum.
Got a new 8lb 6PRC in the works now though

I agree 100% on the weight……I like the way you think!
Being an old fart, the closer to 9 the better! My .375 AI weighs in at 9 lbs 1 ounce, all up and hunt'n!
And you could knock off a couple ounces if ya got that "thingy" off the end of the barrel!

How are you liking the new Garmin heard they are pretty awesome

Have you found with eldm compared to Berger elite hunters that they have a wider node with seating depth

The Garmin is legit. Does the same thing as lab radar but 1/10th of the size.
Yeah I think the ELDM's are way more forgiving with seating depth. Probably because they have such a long bearing surface, which does cause a little velocity loss also. But I definitely notice how forgiving they are with seating depth
