Here's the picture I took of my cousin his ram and my 6.5 creedmoor dirty Diana in the field. It's a massive ram still up for debate if it's the biggest taken horns wise of the ranch but its officially the heaviest one killed off of it.

TXAoudadKlr,

What do you think the impact velocity was?

Around 2400FPS it's only leaving at ~2650 out of my gun.

VERY NICE! I think what it shows is what many of us suspected. At close range, they may be a little TOO explosive, but the farther out you go, the better they perform. I would rather have it that way than the other way around. Even 72 vs 205 made a difference. I think they will really shine at the longest ranges......Rich

Can someone give me feedback on the 162 grain ELD-X 7mm Remington magnum factory ammunition velocity? I am getting fantastic accuracy but velocity seems low. In my 24 inch barrel Savage 111 I am getting an average of 2767 FPS which is over 170 FPS below Hornadys stated velocity.

Im experiencing the same thing, great accuracy but seems to run on the slow side.

I have a 21" barrel so that's not helping either.

Eld-x factory ammo was spot on for me. No speed corrections out to 1000 yards. 24 inch barrel.

Actually thinking of slowing down my reloads to help with the closer shots.
