[QUOTE="TRG65, post: 1821837, member: 103919"] I've gotten very good results from RL 16 and H4350 both with the 230 ELD-X. I run my load .020" off, but the rest of the ELD-X that I shoot I use .050" off for the best results. I also use CCI LR BR primers, because that's what I have for my other rifles and they seem to work just fine. I get 2850 with H4350 and 2870 with RL16 the last time I chronographed. This is from a 24" barrel. I shot a small deer this year at about 130 yds, and the damage was extensive, caught a rib on the way in, and it sprayed blood out both the entrance and exits. I thought that seemed pretty soft, but I've messaged with folks on this site that have also used the 230 ELDX for elk and were happy. It seems to have the potential to be an all around bullet.
