147 eldm h1000 @57.7 grains in adg brass. 1.5 thou neck tension. Very low sd 3130 fps. Very accurate.
Hornady brass (thinner) can take a little more h1000 to get the same speed.

What barrel length, I've went up to 59 h-1000 with 140 no pressure with hornady brass but my lot of brass is super soft even 55 was leaving a ejector mark.

Are 147s still having an issue blowing up or did that get resolved ?

My Hornadys seemed to print a little as well even though primer was fine. My barrel I 24" savage tactical
I have an older lot of 147s and 1 in 5 disappear from radar

these one feel a little loose after the first firing, I only have wlr primers I believe there just a touch smaller the cci or federal. My m18 has Double ejectors so the head gets marked up pretty quick. Hoping next lot of brass is better. I need to try some factory some day to.

I would like t try the 156s tho I don't have the range to make the bc worth it. I think this gun has the shorter throat since the few 147 eldm I did shoot were2.950 and .020 off the lands.

The 147s will make you happy.....as long as they are the newer lots
I'm running the 147 eldm at 2990 with 58.3 of n565 and a cci br2 in lapua brass. 2.950 due to box mag. 22" barrel. Just took 2 axis bucks with it at 220 and 300 yards.
I've taken 8 other deer with the factory hornady 147 loads running at 2860 from the same gun. No complaints.
