I seen a Redding FL bushing die that I thought might do the trick but maybe not. Any experience with this die anyone?
My load for the eld-x still needs to be proven by more shooting hope to get that done this weekend but as of right now.
143 eld-x
56-56.5g Retumbo
Lapua brass
CCI Br-2
.033 jump
Velocity was 2966 at 56.5 grains
26 Brux 8.5 twist barrel
Have you tried working up? From my experience there should be another node that would give you higher velocity. If you are satisfied with your velocity numbers then please do what fits you best.143eldx, fed 210, lapua brass, 53.5 gr8 retumbo, oal 2.96
I've tried, unfortunately when I had my rifle chambered the gunsmith went with saami specs so 2.96 is my absolute max without a hard bolt lift. And I'm compressed already. If I could load out to 3.4oal it would be awesome. Right now I'm at 2800fps. Was hoping for that 2950 markHave you tried working up?

You could ream the throat a bit longer, no ?I've tried, unfortunately when I had my rifle chambered the gunsmith went with saami specs so 2.96 is my absolute max without a hard bolt lift.

So you are technically shooting a 6.5-284 Winchester, not the 6.5-284 Norma. Got it! Thats too bad, that is really hindering performance.I've tried, unfortunately when I had my rifle chambered the gunsmith went with saami specs so 2.96 is my absolute max without a hard bolt lift.
