[QUOTE="7Footer, post: 2330884, member: 74079"] Dragoon300 and waspocrew are correct. I shoot the 88 ELDMs out of my 22-243 in the 3400 fps range with a 26" 1:8 barrel with excellent results. That works out to 306,000 rpm, I have read on other threads that the rpm is critical for these projectiles, and anything too much over 300k will cause bullet failure/loss of accuracy issues. A 1:7 barrel would give me 350k rpm at that velocity, so I think the twist rate of your barrel will dictate your ability to shoot these bullets. I use 44gr of H4831sc with Lapua brass for these results. The short cut version of this powder is so much easier to funnel into those little case mouths. [/QUOTE]
