[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 1170203, member: 59915"] 200 grn ELD X I loaded a few more to test in my Mosin Nagant sporter. The first few groups I loaded at different jumps and grains that I suspected may shoot well. The best group was around 1.25 - 1.5" (didn't measure). But the groups were tightening as I changed things. I decided to try jamming as that does well in this rifle with other bullets. I also dropped another .5 in powder charge. This group was 48.5 grains of IMR 4350 and .015" jam. This group measured .6". So I'll load some more like this to test. With some tuning it may do better. 174grn SMK shoot .3"-.4" in this rifle. This ELD X has a higher BC and is a hunting bullet. So I'll feel better shooting it at game. [/QUOTE]
