[QUOTE="Creedmoor shooter, post: 1670853, member: 72601"] I'm writing this post as there is not alot of information that I can find on real world testing of the 180 eld. I'll update this thread as I continue to shoot this bullet. Lastnight i decided to take it out to 1,000 yards after some pretty minimal load development out of my Remington long range 7mm rem mag 9.25 twist barrel. My 100 yard groups showed promise, so I took it out for distance. 67 grains of rl-26 gave me a velocity of 2958 fps over a magnetospeed chronograph. With all my inputs as correct as I personally can make them, I was running a G7 B.C of .395. This is not written in stone, and will test this further and do updates, but first impression is nothing short of impressive. I'm hoping to stretch it out to 1400 end of the week and validate this further. I'll also shoot this in different conditions as they arise. Bullet seemed to be fully stable in my 9.25 twist and groups were sub moa. Hoping to wack some deer with it this fall as well and see how that 180 eld performs. Just some initial thoughts on what I saw lastnight don't grill me too hard fellas. [/QUOTE]
