    Very good man. Thanks. I'll do some load development first and just single load em until I know if it likes them. Shame they don't make a 6mm ELD-M pill in the 87-95 range

    Yea thats what i ended up doing first, very accurate, managed to hit a golf ball at 485 and 405 yards on the weekend with it, pretty stoked, they look good on animals to from what timmay's thread shows, very promising!

    Well I thought I'd try some 77gr anyway and they worked, the best so far in my 1 in 9 barrel ar15 beating sierra 69gr hpbt by 1/4moa.
