Would anyone venture a guess as to how fast I can reliably push the 88 eldm's for target shooting? I'm thinking about using mine for 600 yard competition and 10 rounds-10 minutes. I've had jacket failures in the past when I push them. It's a 1-7 twist 5r.
 
I don't shoot compition but I shoot 85.5 gr Bergers 3250fps 1&7 twist Xcaliber 26" barrel they blow up in mine 3325fps and up I have shot them to 1200yds center hit 22 creed high hit 6 creedmoor

Nice! I was hoping to use the eldm's for price and availability. Only have 600 yard competitions close by. Wouldn't be too hard to slow them down around 2900 I'd think but curious if anyone else had shot them much
 
3250 seems easy to achieve with H4350 & 88s in a 26" but I don't send them in a 10 shot string. Is there a velocity limit for the matches you intend to shoot? I would guess that the 95smk pushed to around 3150 would do well in a 7twist for competition purposes.
 
3250 pretty easily. Go up much on velocity and you ll start losing them. We were losing 1 out of 3 at 3350 FPS in 80 degree temps with 30" barrel

No velocity limit, there's 4-5 different classes, I'll probably end up in the no limit and be getting crushed but still having fun.
