[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1438392, member: 63138"] I've got the 178 ELD-Xs shooting pretty good in my 06. It is a Sako Finnbear I bought in 1968. I was a kid back then and thought it was fun to shoot ground squirrels with Speer 130 gr hollow points. A few too many of those and it was subsequently rebarreled with a 26" Krieger bull sporter. SAAMI chamber. I'm running the 178s with a COAL of 3.395" which is 0.015" off the lands. The load is 62 gr RL-26, Fed 210 primer. Gives an average velocity of 2,908 fps per Labradar. With 0.005" jump velocity bumps up to 2,950 fps but it didn't shoot as good though still MOA. It groups around 0.75" at 200 yards with the longer jump. No bullet mangling using the standard RCBS bullet seater though I do keep seating pressure pretty low by frequent case annealing. [/QUOTE]
