    Yep but if your having those problems you probably already are with the other LD projectiles anyway.

    Yep, there is no way to get the A-Tips in the magazine if your rifle likes 0.0xx off the lands. The ELD-X just (!) fit in mine but it's pretty tight...

    Doesn't work as the opening at the bottom of the action, where the bullets coming up from the mag, in the Bergara is not long enough. Not too keen to get the grinder out on this occasion ...

    Yeah been there before, building on a medium action to get decent mag lenght.
    Looking to run either the 156 elite hunter or 153 Atip so would love to see some terminal performance photos.
