[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1285128, member: 63138"] barrelnut I've got the 178 and 200 grain ELD-Xs working in my Savage 300 WSM and also my 30-06. In the 300 WSM with the 178 grain I'm using 67.0 grains of RL-26 with Fed 215s. Bullet averages 2,965 fps out of the 26" tube. It has shot several groups (all at 200 yards) just over 0.5 MOA. Jump was 0.017". 200 grainers are averaging 2,975 fps with 68 grains of RL-26. Yeah I know, they are running faster than the 178s but that is the velocity where they shot good - 0.75 MOA at 200 yards. Jump for those was the same. Kind of looks like there is a node right around 2,970 fps. Talked to my nephew today. He and his buddy using ELD-Xs shot 8 whitetail/pronghorn last season. Six of those with a 260 Rem and 2 with a 300 WSM. Ranges from 30 yards to 700 yards. He said the ELD-Xs performed flawlessly. DRT, golf ball size exits and some minimal meat damage.
