    Been thinking of changing from the 162 gr A-Max to the 175gr Hornady ELD-X as it has a better BC than the 162's. My rifle is a Rem 700 with a 24 inch 1:9.25 barrel (factory)
    Is it likely to stabilise the bullets OK, I have read also that stabilisation has a lot to do with the length of bullet as well and these are quite long.
    Another question is am I going to get enough velocity out of the 24 inch barrel for long range work, I presume I would need at least 2900 fps to make it work OK.
    I have 2217, and 2225 available.
    Any thoughts?
    What cartridge? I'm picking 7RM....
