Thread: Hornady ELD 162 help

I dunno about using 140gr bergers in 7mm rem mag, they must be hauling arse?

I used to use 168g Berger classic hunters in my Rem Mag with similar or slightly better results to what you are getting with the VLD's

Dont get hung up too much on BC if thats what you are hoping. Both kill fine and fly fine

The saum is mag fed mate wyatts extended mag box in it works great

Try 3 powders that work well with those projectiles in other peoples rifles.
If it doesn't shoot any of those loads, forget about using the projectile in your rifle.

It happens. My .260 barrel shoots every bullet I have tried except my favorite 130 Swifts.
Pissed me off at the time, but ya get over it.
Especially when it shoots cheap brick like BC interlocks, into little tiny groups at 500 yards, pretty consistently.

You could also try AR 2213 SC with the 162gr.I use 65 grs under the 162gr A-Max and works OK for me. That load is more than the loading book Max so it would pay to work up from lower. My rifle is a Rem 700.

@300Shortmag If you want to try 2213sc I have about 1/4 tub you can have to try.

Thanks for the awesome offer timmay, I'm bloody busy now it's stopped raining so might just stick with the berger load . Cheers
