[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1221956, member: 10429"] Well for those interested I went out with the 300 today and those 220 ELD. The best group was 98 grn of RL 33. I set them to mag length. The highest charge was my 98 grn charge. I got a .585 inch group excluding 1 shot that I new was not good. With that one included its slightly over an inch. But it was nice to see the gun shooting a good group at mag length. Gun is a rem sendero 300 RUM with a custom brake. Will post load data later. I did not see any pressure from this load. According to Hornady this is safe load data straight from there page and should be running around 2900fps. I think with the group, I don't know if I want to chase the other 50fps they have listed with another 1.7 grains added to the charge. Theirs already a lot of bullet in the case. Over all I was pretty impressed with the bullet grouping. Also one thing about the 220's is they seat very consistent with a normal seating die. I measure to the ogive and they were within .001 of each other for all 20 rounds. Measuring the over all length they would measure different which I think this is usually due to tip difference.
