    What do Amax's and the ELD-X'S like?

    Since I don't have much experience with the hornady projectiles what have people found with them?

    Jump, jam or touch what's the go?

    Think my amax load is .012 jump. Squeezed a tiny bit better group than when it was .005. I find the amax quite forgoving to be fair. Havnt tried the elds. Did your 175s turn up?

    Yes they are here and I was measuring them up to see how they will fit in the mag.
    I can't remember OAL now. But I'm pretty sure I can get it to touch while staying mag length

    I run mine at .005" in my .260AI which grouped the best.
