[QUOTE="DustThroughaFan, post: 2910622, member: 126551"] Yeah it's a small sample for sure. Normally, if something shows promise, I'll load five to verify. In this case, I may have a chance to go shoot 1k next weekend so that should tell the tale if it's any good. I'll be sure to update if I get to shoot it. I've got some 208gr eldm also. I had a load for them with magpro but I ran out of bullets. Picked up 300 mpre the other day. Barrel was new then though, probably close to 400 on it now so I'll probably have to start all over with them. Previously with the 208's I started like I do with most everything at .020" jump and they didn't show much promise. I increased jump and they never really got any better. Friend of mine thst shoots them in a 300 Norma and a PRC said he starts them at .010" or jammed and they shoot good for him. I moved them out to .010" and they took off. I was comfortably over 2900 with the 208eldm and magpro. I'm hoping I can achieve that with the HD. If it'll do that I'll probably order 8lbs. I've got a load with the 215 and N570 that is running 2920 now and showing no pressure at all but man, that powder is rough on a barrel. Five shots and that sucker will burn you. Sd's are single digits. [/QUOTE]
