[QUOTE="Hornhunter32, post: 1197802, member: 30226"] I did some testing with the 162 ELD-X this weekend out of my 280 AI. I tested H4831sc and Retumbo. Retumbo won in the accuracy and velocity department. According to my chronograph, I was able to get 3108 fps with 63.7 grs of Retumbo, Rem Brass, and a Fed 215M. I had a very light extractor mark and a little cratering. There was a node around 3060 that looked very promising. I checked my chronograph with two different rifles and the velocities matched my buddies magneto. This was a max load so work up slowly. I was able to get 3050 out of H4831sc, but the accuracy wasn't there. I did have a node worth exploring right around 3030 though. [/QUOTE]
