Be careful in your rifle but I quit at 71 grainsHow many grains of IMR4831 did you use?
Thanks for the info, I know I will go higher on the velocity.My Savage 110 Classic 1:10 is running the 220 ELDX over 69.5 gr IMR4831. Getting right at 2800 fps. It is one of my my accurate and consistent rifles. To get 2650 in mine, I would be at 65.5 gr, but my barrel has less then 100 shots. Surprisingly (or not), I found my best COAL at 3.350 (230 otl), which is Hornady book, go figure.
That's most impressive shooting. All at 100 yds...great! Thank you for the info.I know this is kinda late to this but,this is a picture from my Baurgra HMR-PRO in 300 WM. Small bore tar, to be shot at 50yd. Reduced for shooting at 50'. Shot at 100 YDS. All on Rt side have 3 holes in black. And rifle had only Less than. 100 rds down range, just breaking in! Better now with much more now. Also using H-1000 @79.5 gr, and 180 gr spbt .LRP. Mixed brass. This is for me a Keeper!
I have had great test results with the 212-ELD-X using 215-M primer with Retumbo powder. My fastest speed went 3009 FPS with no signs of high case pressure with Hornaday brass neck turned to 11.000 wall thickness ,butt I had a 3 shot group over 1.5 inches so my barrel don't like that speed. I have a 300 win-mag Savage Long Range Hunter with a bull barrel. So the load for my rifle with that bullet is 79.5 G Retumbo shot at 100-yards at 2945 FPS and I was lucky enough to get single digit speed variance. My group is 3 bullet holes touching each other with just a hair larger than 1/4 inch MOA @ 100-yards. I also have great results with Berger 210-VLD. Keep in mind this load shot fast for that size bullet with a 300 win-mag butt you need to find the speed that your barrel likes and that will give you a tight group and stay safe.Has anyone with a 300 Win Mag had a chance to shoot the ELD-X bullets yet? I curious how they are grouping and what kind of speed you are seeing with them so far?
Any load data would be appreciated.
