[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 1461977, member: 31749"] I have had great results shooting the 143gr ELD-X with Alliant Reloder 16, Lapua brass, and CCI magnum small rifle primers. As far as seating depth, I just loaded them to a base to ogive length that matched the Hornady factory ammo and since it shot so well I didnt see a reason to mess with it. I do get a pretty healthy crunch when seating bullets though, they are a touch "compressed". Alliant doesnt list a specific recipe for the ELD-X and RE16 so I started with the data they list for the 142gr Sierra MK and just started low and worked up while keeping an eye on the chrono to make sure there weren't any dangerous spikes until I got to a node that shot well. Out of my Bergara HMR (same barreled action as the Ridge) I am getting 2791fps avg with an SD of 9.5 and prints .2-.3MOA both with and without my Dead Air Sandman-S screwed to the end (POI did shift 3" down at 100yds with the can on). The factory Hornady Precision Hunter ammo is almost 200fps slower but still groups ~.5-.75MOA in this rifle. [/QUOTE]
