Thread: 73gr ELDM in 223

I stuck with the 2208 because it gave the lowest es and 3 bullets touching at 100. But the BM2 grouped good well. Hope this is of some help

Thank you so much, this is good info. I think another .2 of a grain and ill see if it improves or not, if it does then I won't be far off.

Thanks again for replying to this thread
