[QUOTE="rhouser, post: 1165330, member: 18752"] I just received 500 143 gr eld-x bullets. I am hoping for a fine long-range bullet with some terminal ballistics. So far, I just "picked" a jump of .010 and a load range of 46.0 to 46.5. My 8 twist 26" barrel really likes the 142 smk's at 46.5 gr of 4831-sc. They fly at between 2885 avg and 2901 depending on whether I am using norma or nosler brass. I went to the eld-x 143 gr hoping for the accuracy of the 142 with a little smack down added on the terminal end. We shall see. Does anybody shoot the 143 eld-x in 260 rem with 4831-sc? What kind of jump are you using? I am going to load a few more of these and go back to the range today. My first 3 round tests showed that it likes the 46.5 pretty well, but it went back vertical with one shot. Could have been me, a flyer or the load. No chrono on these yet. Thanks in advance for any input. rch [/QUOTE]
