143gn ELDX. 41gn 2209 2575fps. 200m zero is 64mm high at 100m. 300m 26.6cm low. 2157 energy. 500m 151cm low. 1894 energy.
130gn SGK 43gn 2209 2780fps. 200 zero is 54mm high at 100. 300m 23.7cm low. 2228 energy. 500m 138.7cm low 1898 energy.

That 41gns of 2209 behind the 143ELDX did not produce a very flash group in the Sauer but to be fair that was only 1 x 3 shot group. It seemed to group ok with 40gns of 2209 but I was not really happy with the low velocity, 2540fps from memory. I have been playing around with Superformance and managed 2714fps with 45gns in my Bergara HMR 6.5CM so maybe I will try that load in the Sauer.

Give Hodgdon superprofrmance a good good you should be able to load around 46-47 grn behind the 143 ELDX
