Thread: 200gr eldx

Hi guys is anyone running the 200 eldx in their win mag? Don’t have any data on them any help would be much appreciated 👍

84grns 2225 I was running in my old one for 3000fps.

Yep, I have just changed over from the 178 gr ELD X which was working well. I have loaded them in my Tikka using RL 26 powder. I use 74 grs and CCI Magnum primers, for a velocity of 2900fps. That load shot well in my rifle. COAL is 85.5 mm and fits the Tikka long Magazine. I don't think this is max load but if you use this data start a few grains lower and work up to be sure. Yet to shoot an animal with this load but the 178 gr at 3000fps worked a treat.

Oh wow thanks, I have been using 83gr 2225 and mag fit for the tikka and getting 2930fps, was just wondering if I was in the ball park as was just using the 200gr nos data, have used on goats, pigs and reds at various ranges all pass throughs and none have taken a step further.. do any of you guys anneal? I have never bothered but am getting ring marks on the projectile and wondering if the brass it getting hard? Dumb question I know I’m on the 5th reload

I don't anneal and seem to get good life out of my brass. That's a good load you have there using 2225 although you are burning 10 grains more powder to get about what RL 26 does with 74 grains. Problem is RL 26 is a bit hard to get at the moment.

Yeh I was using 2213sc but found the es tightened up using a slower powder with a fuller case, wasn’t an issue till we moved the gongs to 6 and 800 yards

Thanks for all the reply’s

I'm using 77gr 2217 with the 200eld
