[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 2932927, member: 10429"] Here is my take. I have a 26 inch Howa that I was having a hard time with getting to shoot he way I wanted. I later on a just a fun thought loaded some 212 ELDX to see what it would do. Right away first thoughts, heavy to much bullet in small case should be really slow. At 41 grains of accurate, RP brass sized and annealed, all load prep, cci br2, I got 2470fps and sub MOA groups that held sun MOA past 600 yards. Running the numbers and shooting down to 1600fps it’s a very effective deer load at much distance when shooting/hunting at 5000ft elevation. Now where I currently live at 2700ft elevation for prescribed 1600fps I get 850 yards for max range 1205 ft/lbs of energy. Still effective for a long range shot for me. [/QUOTE]
