Thread: 168 ELD-M alternative

The rifle is a howa 1500 with 20 inch 1 in 10 twist. I have done preliminary load development with the 155 which showed promise and I haven't had a chance to shoot the 178 yet.

I have powders 2206h, IMR 4064, IMR 4895.

It's a hunting rifle but I get out and shoot tings far away fairly often as well.

Can't decide which way to go,

I'm hearing ya but those 168eldm are hard to beat.
