[QUOTE="gbett308, post: 2244494, member: 104935"] I bought some of those Hornady precision hunter 150 eld-x's for my 7mm-08 too and found the same issue with chambering. my rem 700 cdl-sf is factory and has not as of yet had the chamber reamed out, thinking I need to get this done to seat longer available 7mm bullets. Anyhow, I did take apart the Hornady 150 eldx factory rounds to experiment and here is what I found: powder charges varied by up to .6 grains, bullet weights were all +/-.1 grain, brass sizing was good (all the same). So, here is what I did...evened up all the powder charges (some were over, some under) to the common charge found. I reseated the eld-x's in a hair so they load and chamber well. I then took them to the range and found I now had a very accurate round with solid muzzle velocities as advertised. In fact, The groups were highly competitive with my hunting loads. Remember, this is just my analysis of a single box of this ammo. [/QUOTE]
