Thread: 162gn ELDX not expanding

I could pull a loaded round apart and file it down if you are stuck @Flyblown.

Yep Stug you're right the x's and the vld's weren't my best choice when i first bought my 7mag but they were all i could get at the time where i am and the shop owner said they were new and perfect for what i wanted them for it didn't take me long to find out otherwise so i gave them all away and started looking i tried the barnes TSX 160 gr they shot ok but i had major
fowling problems after awhile so got rid of them i tried grand slams but they were too expensive but used them up while i looked for something else then an old shooter from here told me to try the old sp's 154gr so i did and at first i was loading them and sitting them close to the lands as all the rest but i could only get one and a half inch group at best so i told him and he said get them away from the lands and load them to spec length so i did and bingo clover leaf they have a flat base which i've found both my sakos like 22-250 and the 7mag
I thought i may have trouble with the bulls with the projectiles being on the light side but no such problem they go deep and hard exactly what i was looking for and cheaper than most
