    I can't find any info on the barrel twist rate required, but suspect it will be 1:7.5"?

    Selling in NZ for $110 for 100.
    A good job and a good wife has been the ruin of many a good hunter.

    so a fast twist .25/06 will now be able to keep up with a .270w
    yet the plonkers only made the similar in .277 145grn ..... oh how I wish Nosler would tip the 160grn partition and stick boattail on it to up its BC ,the playing field would be somewhat leveled then.
    but then again,that .257 is the match version ELDM not the ELDX sst version so maybe not relevant for hunting anyway???
    75/15/10 black powder matters

    ELDM are extremely effective for hunting.

    There's been a few threads about this one. It looks like a good bullet but likely requires a custom barrel for the twist rate to use it.
