More testing done yesterday and I'm absolutely ecstatic. Tested loads at 51, 51.5, 52, 52.5, and 53. 52 and 52.5 went in the same hole. Ran back home and loaded 6 shells at 52.3 and .060 jump. First group went out of the tube at 2873, 2879, 2867 for an ES of 12 and SD of 6. Group size was .421. Made a terrible pull on the 3rd shot in the group. Let the gun cool and made another 3 shot group with the exact same load and shot a .220. Speeds were 2886, 2904, and 2892 for an ES of 18 and SD of 9.17. The last group was shot 33-35 down the new barrel. As I stated before, Tim @ Broughton told me the speeds would climb as I got closer to the 75 round mark and then stabilize. Really like what Im seeing and thought I would share my experience with the 143 ELD-X.
