[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1413722, member: 22069"] My next step is to verify the 51.0 grain load. I will load some up, shoot them to see if they are consistently accurate, and put a few across my Magnetospeed chrono. If they prove out, I will have a combination that flies similarly to 69 grain Sierras from a fast twist 22-250, though far less efficient. I also have a box of 100 grain ELD-M. The nose, ogive, and bearing surface appear to be identical to the 95 VMAX. The additional 5 grains of bullet weight seems to be in the longer boat tail on the ELD-M. I would expect the ELD-M to behave very similarly to the VMAX, in terms of powder charge and velocity. Upon completion of the VMAX workup, I will be testing the ELD-M's. [/QUOTE]
