Thread: 7mm eld-X questions

A mate swirched from .308 178 eld-x to .308 178 eld-m in his 308 because he wasn't happy how the eld-x killed. He felt they were harder and didn't expand as well as the old amax. He is very happy with the eld-m at 308 velocities. Killed a number of deer out to 600 odd yards.

I have been running the 162 eld-x for a while in a 7-08 at 2600 fps and they have worked very well on game including a couple of large stags from 10-500 yards. Lots of damage.

I have been using the 162 eld-m in my 284 win and have been shooting a lot of goats with this but no deer. they are very effective on goats out to very long range but have not shot anything closer than 300 yards with this set up.

I am currently working up a load with the 180 eld-m in a rem mag and while I have not shot any animals yet these are looking to be very accurate.

What twist barrel are you trying the 180's in?

So far very promising. Shooting 0.25 inch groups at 100yds at 2900fps.
