Thread: 195 eldm 300wsm FFFFFFFFFFFF!

Didn’t even know they made that weight. Try another powder then look at another projectile.
178s with 2209 seems to work most of the time in Tikka and 2213 with the 208s seems to work well also. The 208 ELDM is bloody amazing further out at lower impact speeds, not that WSM would push them too fast anyhow.

I use 62gr of RL17 pushing 200gr eldx at 2940 out of my 23inch xbolt, could get more fps but with groups around half inch why bother

@Blackmac is that at xbolt mag length? Ripper load too!

This is why you shouldn't bother:



Edit: Speer show a max of 61.6gr with a 180gr bullet for 2934fps from a 24" barrel. Methinks your load is taking the piss a bit.

Seems ok to me and Hornady are more conservative than the likes of ADI or Alliant data.
