[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1242332, member: 42308"] I would be interested in R-26 first hand 264 knowledge! I went crazy and ordered several hundred ELDX. Hornady bullets are plentiful around here about everywhere and bergers are special order items that weren't available one too many times so I'm married to them until this barrel is likely done dealing. The jacket fouling of the ELDX just plain sucks. I *think* it's skeiving the jacket. In my 9 twist barrel the first 3" of barrel get loaded up. I haven't recovered any in any condition to be able to verify that. I have recovered one from my Grendel, but the initial velocity was only 2089 fps and it showed no skeiving issue when recovered. I haven't shot the ELDX from my 6.5/06 yet and likely won't mess with it in that rig. In my 264 win mag, with Berger 140 hybrids I didn't see anything even close to this with 100 rounds between de coppering. I'm hoping that the transitional rifling will amalgamate that even further. I have a solid case of ELDX buyers remorse, they better be pure hell on the deer or they will be in the classifieds in a few weeks. [/QUOTE]
