[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1833820, member: 307"] Welcome aboard! Lately I've been shooting the 212gn ELD-X in my 300WinMag. I used a finishing reamer (Ryan Mantha) on my Pac-Nor 28", 9t SAAMI spec chamber to specifically use the 215gn Berger Hybrid. It performed great with the Bergers but I ran out and then came across a good deal on some 212 ELD-X's and switched over to those. My OAL is a bit shorter (3.6140") with the Hornady's due to their longer bearing surface but the ES and SD are smaller than the Berger's and the accuracy was just as good. Both bullets shoot under MOA out to 1000 yards in this rifle using Norma brass, 75.0gn or RL-26 and BR2's. This OAL is "kissing" the rifling but is safe and under the pressure curve in my rifle but you should drop it a couple grains and work up. I don't worry too much about a bullet being too light or too heavy as long as it's placed in the vitals with decent velocity and energy. I do gravitate toward the heavier for caliber bullets, twist allowing. [/QUOTE]
