[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1352544, member: 42308"] Thank you for your response. I should have been clearer in my post. I haven't had the opportunity to test much below that velocity, it puts the target right at 1,000 yards and velocity = 1,653 fps. I was not able to develop a load accurate enough, in my rifle, to reliably shoot further with any reasonable expectation to hit. It actually took about a dozen shots to hit my trap at that range, so I posted what I have actually tested and captured. As to your question regarding the consistency of the ELDM, I bought 500 of the 225g ELDM from lot #2170060. I first randomly grabbed 20 from each box, 100 in total, weighed and measured them. I didn't believe what I found so I decided to I weigh and measure all of them to eliminate any sampling error. I found the weight range is 223.8g - 225.7g in that lot. Further, the base of the bullet to ogive varies from 0.883" to 0.887". [/QUOTE]
