the guys I shoot with did try the 285 ELD's , I'm not sure why they stopped using them . maybe just availability ?? now they are using the 300 A-tips . the A-tips seem to do ok , not sure about hunting though . I've had good luck with the 300 gr Berger's . as long as I can find them I'll stick with them . I did buy some nosler 300 gr custom competition bullets , but I haven't tried them yet . the price was considerably less than Bergers . I like to shoot what I hunt with , but if the Noslers work out ok , I'll probably shoot more of them through the off season . then get things set up for the Bergers for hunting .
I bought a set of the 21st century neck mandrels. I haven't messed around with them yet either . I'm going to explore this some , see if I can find something good .
I've only used RL33 in mine . I'm getting low and can't find it . I was able to get N570 . I've messed a little with it , and like what I see so far .
