Thread: 200gr ELD-X for 30-06

Thought I would revive this thread from when I last posted in it.

Well, I picked up a nice Savage 110 in 30-06 and though I'd run the 200gr ELDX load through it as well. Using Superformance and Fed Magnum primers, I got the 200 grainers going at an average of 2715ft/s. Coupled with groups sized between 0.5 to 1.0 inches I think I have found a workable load. The next step is to see how the 200gr ELDXs expand on animals at the 100-200m range and then again at 350-450m once the bullet has lost a bit of velocity. Beyond that range I'd probably use a different rifle.

After about 30 rounds from prone position, my shoulder was starting to feel it.

Anyone else have any feedback on 200gr ELDX expansion at aforementioned ranges?
