Thread: 162 amax loads to 162 eldx

Yeah you'll need to back it off quite a bit.

It's a different bullet, I think that's all that needs saying really.

I made this change a couple years ago from the ELD-M to ELD-X and dropped back about 3 grains in the end. That was after starting new load development. Rifle is a 7mm rem mag.

What @Cigar says is right on the money, they generate pressure much quicker than other softer bullets and have a much thicker jacket then the ELD-M/Amax.
