[QUOTE="Don Titus, post: 1151413, member: 61851"] Just got back from the range after shooting 200 gr. ELD-X's in my Rem 700 in 300 WM. Here are my data: Followed Hornady's advice re H4831sc 61 to 73.8 gr. I tried two loads both with Rem brass, Fed215M primers, loaded out to 3.555" (.020 off the lands). 71gr. - 5 shot avg. = 2710 fps / .60" @100; .90" @200 72gr. - 5 shot avg. = 2745 fps / .50" @100; .75" @200 Notes: noticed partial flattening of primer on one case. Plan to work up in .5gr. Increments while watching for further signs of excessive pressure (doubt that I will get to or even try Hornady's Max load of 73.8gr.). 73.8 seems a bit high to me; have shot 73gr. of H4831sc behind 190 ABLRs w/o excessive pressure signs. Your thoughts? [/QUOTE]
