    Personally don't bother with anything but the 7mm ELDM's (162 in the '08 and 180's in the RM) at the moment.
    While I tremendously respect Bryan Litz, I don't know if I've seen evidence that the 147gr is quite so simple to write off in practical terms -

    For example - https://xlrindustries.com/blogs/xlr-...m-bc-variation


    who knows what is really going on?
