    So got on the wagon and had a go with162gr eldx in a standard t3 708. Used 2208 for the horsepower. Did 3 strings starting a 42.7gr, 43gr and 43.3gr. The 42.7gr came out tops with 2768fps average and sub moa groups. The other loads only added slight more velocity but groups spread.

    72.10mm. Slight flat primers but no craters. I hand loaded them with the mag in as they a bit long. The 43.3gr had pressure issues.
