Thread: 162gn ELDX not expanding

If someone can section a single 7mm pill and photograph it, I can do the 6.5 and .30 here, and compile a little montage to see if we can see any differences.

Would be good if someone can do the 200gr 30 cal as well. Photograph them on a white sheet of paper.

sectioned the 178 30 cal yesterday for my own interest. It would actually be a pretty handy thread to start for choosing a projectile for load dev - not just ELD-X's but all popular projectiles.
