[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1254310, member: 69478"] Tested the 147 GR ELD Match today in my cousin's 6.5-284 with 28" Krieger 1:7.5 twist 4 groove barrel. He shot 3 rounds on paper and 3 through the chrono. He shot around a .4 MOA group at 100 and his average velocity with the other 3 shots was around 2950fps, ES was about 18. Seems like a good load. He used 55gr of Retumbo, Nosler brass, and a Fed 210. Looking forward to seeing how they perform on whitetail this upcoming week. I also am starting on a new project. I am rebarreling my 700 Long Range with a Bartlein 28" Sendero contour 1:9 .30cal and should have it ready to go in 2-3 weeks. I have a few hundred of the 208gr ELD Match bullets I am going to use. Factory barrel was a good 3/4 MOA shooter but I just want better accuracy and the Remington barrel fouled pretty quickly. Chambering it in .308 Norma Mag. An oddball, but I already have the reamer, Redding dies, and about 200 pieces of brass for it and my classic custom is in .308 Norma. It's a good shell and it makes sense from my stand point.
