[QUOTE="lhp63190, post: 1201364, member: 96319"] Hi, This is my first post and I'd like to thank all of the members for the time and effort you dedicate to sharing your knowledge with less experienced shooters such as myself. I started following various posts on the 300 WM over a year ago and think I've read every one at this point. Though a lifelong rifle and archery hunter, i just started shooting long range around 2 years ago with a friends equipment. After a lot of research, I have opted for my first custom rifle. Below are the specs. The primary purpose of this rifle is elk/mule deer hunting at ranges up to 750-800 (my comfort zone under the right conditions). The rifle will be ready for pickup this weekend. 300WM Bartlien 3B 25.5" barrel with heavy spiral fluting, 1:10 Stiller Predator Action McMillan Hunter Stock w/ edge technology Wyatt's extended mag box G7 Nightforce 5.5-22x50 Scope G7 Rangefinder I spent a lot of time reading Broz's posts on the 300WM/Berger 215 setups. I was ready to replicate his load development until the release of the ELD-x and more specifically the ELD-X .308 212. I have both bullets in hand as well as plenty of H1000, Hornady Brass, and F215 primers. I plan to work up loads for both bullets to see which performs best in my gun. However, assuming both shoot great, I can't decide which I'd rather go with for my Limited Entry Elk hunt this fall. I'd welcome any thoughts, opinions, and real world knowledge comparing these specific bullets (Berger 215 vs Hornady eld-x 212). LHP [/QUOTE]
