[QUOTE="venatic, post: 1176431, member: 33745"] Anybody out there happened to check runout with either the 140 ELD Match or 143 ELD X ??? I loaded some 143's first for Creedmoor that Horizon has built and I furnished them to Derrick for testing and to sight-in the rifle. I noticed the runout was pretty bad in the 20 rounds I loaded with new FL sized Hornady brass. They ran .004 to .008 which at .004 I can live with for hunting rounds but I was concerned. Also loaded some 140gr ELD match and runout was only slightly better and that was with once fired Nosler brass. Now I am wondering if it might be the bullets. Today I tried 15 more once fired with a different seating die and after the first 12 looked not so great again with only two going .003 and the rest .004-.005 I drug out 3 140gr Barnes Matchburners I happened to have and they spun almost perfect all under .001 Hmmmm wondering in Hornady's attempt to get these out to market they maybe had no QC? Almost forgot earlier this week loaded 40 rounds of 300 Win Mag with 200gr ELD X's and yep runout sucked with many going as high as .008 and most around.004 Note: The Creedmoor dies I have are also Hornady and usually ammo is very consistent with both Hornady and Nosler Brass.
