    I've had great results with RL26 and 180 Berger VLDs. Imagine that 180ELDMs would be similar, guess it depends also on your throat set up and seating depth, etc etc. Suggest starting off around 67gn with the 180's and working up carefully.
    I ended up around 68 - 69gns with VLDs, cant recall the exact figure off the top of me head

    69 of rl26 with the 180eldm, no pressure signs @3060fps and a single ragged hole.
    I found the 180 eldm to perform well on game up close and out far.
    I have got an accurate load with the 145lrx barnes doing 3440fps. Haven't shot a red with it yet but I reckon it would knock it into next week at that speed.
