[QUOTE="shawnb, post: 1215875, member: 25630"] I have some info for you. I have been toying with the 208 eldm bullets and it turns out they pressure out sooner than the 215s i think. I found that my normal n560 (63gr) 215 load it to much for extraction with the 208s.for the 208s 62.4gr of 560 put 5 shots in the same hole at 100 and had an ok es of 20fps. Any more powder opened up the groups. Velocity was 2825 fps. 62.7gr was 2865, 63 was 2900. I just got a new scale because i was thinking my old 1010 scale was not as accurate and i think i may be right. I had some still loaded from the 1010 that i havent shot. So i tested them and they were all over the place. Ive shot these into 1.5-2.5" groups at 535 pretty regularly. I will take this and reload them with the new scale and see if anything improves. Who knows maybe my 1010 was out to lunch with what it was actually weighing compared to a good new scale. Like you my search for a new powder might be ahead of me. [/QUOTE]
