0.050"how far off the lands are you running that eld-x?
I've had really good luck with them from .060-.080 off.
H-1000 is a good idea for sure.

Try another powder. I couldn't get Retumbo to work in any of my rifles. Try IMR 7828 SSC or IMR 7977. Also, try seating the Bergers 0.015" off the lands.Would like some suggestions.
I have a Rem Long Range 700 7mm Rem mag that I have had customized with Kreiger 1:8:25" twist 26" barrel - sendero contour, Manners Stock, Timney Trigger. I'm shooting it with 4x20 Burris XTRII. I can't seem to get better than 1" groups from 100 to 300 yards.
I've tried shooting 180 Berger VLDs with 68.g - 70.6g RETUMBO. I think this gun should be at .5" vs. 1" gun.
I've also tried 175 Hornady ELD-X with Retumbo and that shot even worse.
Nosler Brass, CCI Mag Primers...
Any other suggestions on Powders with the heavier 7mm Rem Mag bullets? Going on an elk hunt this fall in MT.
I've gotten under 1/2 MOA in two factory 7mm mag with 4831sc and h1000. Berger 180 VLD .015" into lands, fire formed brass and cci mag primers
H1000 would be good for MT, I've shot it at 80 degree temp variation, (95 degrees and 15 degrees) with only a small ES change.
