[QUOTE="jacobdewey, post: 1521121, member: 87516"] Update* Shot my spike elk with the load I stated earlier. High shoulder shot crumpled him at 451 yards. Awesome load, but I'm always looking to improve.... Going to be working up a 180 eldm load this winter. I can't ignore the crazy b.c. (.401 G7 in an 8 twist vs. .347 in the 175) Any edge in bucking wind is an edge I'll take. Terminal ballistics look great with the 180. Should be able to get 2900-3000fps out of my gun, and hopefully find a node around there. Coal is 3.402 for eldx, 3.457 with the eldm @ 20 thou off lands. With a bullet length of 1.575 with the eldx and 1.550 for the eldm, I actually get .080 more case capacity. Yes the eldm is shorter and also has a smaller bearing surface. *Update on the 180 ELD M* 67.5 g H-1000 CCI no.250 magnum primers 3.457 coal Hornady Brass 2996 fps average, sd 4, es 8 (magneto speed) Group size was tolerable @ .66 moa. The G7 coefficient of .401 held true out to 869 yards. This load is fairly hot in my gun, with very slight primer flattening. I ran as fast as 69 grains @ 3080 fps, but it was scary. Flattened primers with stiff ejection. Only shot one and tore the others down. Also building a lightweight 6.5-284 Norma with a 24" McGowan bbarrel. Pm me your favorite loads with the berger 140 elite Hunter. [/QUOTE]
