[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1441348, member: 22069"] I haven't been able to get the 95 VMAX's to shoot consistently in my 6.5x55. It will start to group in a nice little cluster, then comes the inevitable fliers. I strongly suspect the long throat is to blame for this. I did limited testing with the 100 ELD-M's. With the same powder charges, muzzle velocity is very close to the 95 VMAX's. The difference is less than 20 fps. Loaded to 51.0 grains, the 100 ELD-M's look like they might be what I am looking for in the Swede. I need to shoot a few more to be sure. To confirm my theory about the long throat causing inconsistency with the VMAX's, I intend to try them in my .264 Win Mag and a friend's .260 Rem, both of which have short throats. I am expecting 3700+ from my .264 Win Mag. If I can make that work, I think that would make for one heckuva coyote load. [/QUOTE]
