Got a few box's of the 212grn ELDX pills so I thought id suss a load out and post it up here for anyone interested.
Started at 81grns 82grns 83grns then 84grns. Speeds started at 2880, 2930, 2960 then 2990fps.
At 100 meters they were 1' group, 1.5'group, 1.2'group then the 84grns done .3' group with 3 shots.
The group pictured is a 6 shot group at 100 going 2990fps with a spread of 13fps so im happy with that, will test to a km tomorrow hopefully.
Cheers.

Nice group. What powder are you using?

What seating doe are you using? Looks like a decent ring pressed into the pill? Not that it matters aye

Do those pills fit in the mag ok or are r u single loading?
The ring impression on the projectile obviously has no effect on the performance so I wouldn't bother changing anything
Very nice. Anyone have any photos of how these eldxs perform on animals?

Getting close to 300 RUM velocity with 208 gr , pretty damn good for a 300 Win.
