[QUOTE="wyrshunter1, post: 2517623, member: 122173"] I chronoed a maxed compressed load of 156 Bergers Elites at roughly 3000 fps with Retumbo in a stock Mauser 18 and no pressure. When I sighted the gun in last year only the 147 H match were available but it shot .5 inch groups with H4831SC. If the Bergers shoot even close to that it is a nice elk load. No problem getting them in the mag. I will update the results as soon as I can get out to see if that loads shoots. I caught a lot of flack from the .30 cal elk crowd on here by pointing out it surpasses a book maxed velocity .300 Win with a 180 Nosler Partition in energy by 400 yards and catches up the 06 and WSM at about 300. Curious as to guys experience with the elite hunters on elk and particularly compared to the ELDXs. I have 143 ELDXs, and 147 Hornady match on hand now too. [/QUOTE]
