[QUOTE="Idaho Trecker, post: 1176265, member: 67706"] Got out last weekend and did some seating depth tests with the 200 grain eld-x in my 300 Dakota. Unfortunately when I put the magnetospeed on it severely changes my POI and I only got 1 group to get on paper which was my first string. I have a very noticeable cold bore in this rifle so first string was not a good overall group; however the next 2 shots were touching. Now comes the numbers... 44 Degrees, 27.63"Hg, 155 yards 300 Dakota 24.5" barrel CCI 250 Retumbo .110 off .060 off .007 off 3009 3033 3061 3003 3041 3067 3012 3042 3044 Looks like I'll be loading these at .060 off and play with some distance... Overall I am pleased with the numbers and the one group that did get on paper. Also put some 143 ELD-X through the 6.5 Creedmoor in a Ruger American Predator with 22" barrel to play with seating depth and RL 17. Didnt get speeds unfortunately. .005 off .100 off .3" group at 100 yards 2.3" at 100 yards Ran a pressure test with the 143 at the .005 off and RL 17... 41.0 2669 41.4 2682 41.8 2699 42.2 2730 42.6 2749 This didnt hit max but bolt lift was getting really hard. All 5 shots went into 1" at 100 yards to boot! [/QUOTE]
