[QUOTE="Tulsa Reiner, post: 1971592, member: 75815"] If you load the ELD-X or ELD-M for a 700 Remington action, be sure to test the feed from the magazine. I just returned from a NM antelope hunt after developing loads for my 6.5 PRC (with a 700 Rem clone action) and for my step-son's 308 Win made by Remington. The 6.5 PRC loads were with ELD-X 143 gr bullets, and the 308 Win loads were with ELD-M 155 gr bullets. Neither rifle would feed a bullet into the chamber from the left position in the magazine because the tip of the bullet jams against the left rim of the chamber instead of clearing it. I think this is due to the long narrow taper of these bullets. Both loads were within SAAMI COAL and would stack in the magazines fine. BTW, both bullets performed well in these small animals. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Solution? (I'll attach a photo in a minute.) [/QUOTE]
