[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1439281, member: 33159"] The eld-x can be finicky with seating depth. I suggest using Berger's protocol to find the best seating depth first, then work your load up from there. Although, I've found quite a few people that state the eld-x likes to be about 0.03" off the lands. I have a long action Savage 116 that was a rebarrel from 30-06 to the 6.5-284. My best COAL is 3.170" If using H4831, you will find 51-53.5 gr will be where you end up. I use it with the 140 VLD and get only 2897 fps out of 53.5 gr, but it's super accurate. I use 57.6 gr of Retumbo to get 2973 fps and accuracy. Most others find 56-58 gr of Retumbo to be where they end up. 2950 fps seems to be the accuracy node for this caliber with the 140-143 gr bullets [/QUOTE]
