Decided a while back to play around with 180 ELDMs and RL26 in my Tikka 284 22in bbl. Already had some great loads developed with 162 AMAX and TMKs but based on some data provided by @GWH I thought I’d have a tinker. So with lockdown why not make good use of time. Few shots on paper to re-zero scope then ran 3 loads 55gn, 55.3 and 55.7 gn. Pretty windy day but could set up so the wind was up me date. All Grouped pretty well but got tighter as loads went up. The 55.7gn was 3 in same ragged hole. Speed at 55.7 was 2675fps - lower than I was hoping but would still be plenty for 8-900 yards.
