7mm 180eldm from a 9 twist

[remingtonman_25_06]

I've got a nice 7-300 win mag with a 28" 9twist Bartlein. It shoots the 162 amaxs beaitifully..i was curious if anyone has or shot the 180 eldms from a 9twist. I've had people say they will and won't shoot from a 9 twist. I'm also shooting at 1000ft ASL. I built this rifle 4 years ago before there was any really good heavy LR bullets so i got the 9 twist...wished I would be went with an 8 now with all these nice new slippery 7mm bullets...oh well. The 162 amax shoots under 1/2 MOA to 1K as is already.

Compare the length to the 180 Berger Hunting VLD- I shoot them from 1-9" with no issues (7RUM).

I shoot them an my 9 twist 28 Nosler, and they stabilize beautiful. But, all my shooting is done at 5000-8000'.

i shoot them out of my 9 twist 7 saum and 9.5 twist 7mm-08 at 5000 ft elevation and neither have ever had a problem with stabilizing

Ran 180 berger hybrids as well as 180 ELDM in 7 RM with a 9 twist proof and it did just fine!

 

[remingtonman_25_06]

Awesome thanks guys. Guess I'll just have to get a box and see how they fly!

 

[Remmy700]

Let me check when I get home I am pretty sure I got some and I wont be using them.

That'd be great! Let me know, I almost bought a box this afternoon but they were sold out. I have a pile of 162g AMAX for trade if that helps any?

 

[Remmy700]

I got some 175 eldx and some 180 eldm. A box of both, few taken out of both for load work but still definelty plenty enough for a load work up.

If neither of these shot well enough for you, might I ask what shot better? Was it the 180 Berger you mentioned?

 

[Remmy700]

The 180 eldm shot very well and so did the 175s but I came across a good deal on 500 180 Berger hybrids so I shot those and ended up trading that rifle. The 180 eldm shot very well.

I like the Hornadys, they shoot and kill just as good, at half the price of Bergers in my experience.

I had a long chat with a Hornady technician about these. Similar setup in that I have a 7mm weatherby 9 twist. Currently shooting Berger's. Short answer is yes, plenty of stability, but you will get a similar bc as the Berger's (.675). If you eventually rebarrel to an 7.5-8 twist you will get the higher .790-.818 bc in the 3000-3150 band.

180 Berger's shoot lights out in mine over H1000 and 210's. I'd have no reservations about the eldm as it's shot amazing in every thing else I've loaded.
