[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1177615, member: 13833"] Finally got back out to shoot a little today. I picked up some 143 ELDX's and they were burning a hole in my bench. THIS RECIPE IS FOR THE 6.5SS (NOT THE SHERMAN) 7mm Norma Saum brass, F210, 60 RL26, 143 ELDX, MV 3201' Bullets were seated .010" off the lands at 3.08" coal (long bullets!) After checking velocity with the mag speed, I fired 3 shots at 100yds. The first 2 shots were the top 2 and I called the third low. I figured the first 2 were where zero was for longer range. I then backed off to 780 yards and set up the bipod and rest. The wind was blowing at about 6-7 mph from about 7:30. I fired the first 2 shots, and the wind switched clear around to about 10:30 at the same speed. I figured the drift at about the same so held the same aiming point. This was with NO load development with this bullet! I feel that with a little tweaking, it will perform VERY well. It only took 13moa to be on at 783 yards. It takes 19.2moa at 100yds., and I still have 1000 ft./lbs.@ 1210 yards and 1775' velocity to expand the bullet! I would like to have seen the group if the wind had not changed on me before the third shot? Below are the results: [ATTACH]58437.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]58438.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
