Thread: 280AI 175gn LRAB or 180gn ELDM?

Watching with interest. About to go hunting for 10 days down south & taking my 284, running 180 ELDMS at 2700fps (22in bbl). Quite a mild load but very accurate & still holds 1800fps out to 950yds. Not that I’d engage animals at that distance. Doing 2100fps at 600. I’ve got a bush load for up close stuff as I’m not sure if ELDMs might be a bit too frangible under 100yd? That’s where the LRAb might have an advantage.
Plenty of reports of guys running 180 ELDMS out of SAUM, 284 or 280ai with good success. All these 7mms are much of a much when it comes to ballistic performance.
