[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 1168271, member: 59915"] Well I loaded my first group of 143 ELD X for my LRH. A 3 shot group. Without even worrying about how much jump it was I want to see if they will shoot well without me moving my seating die. Right now it's set up to shoot the 140 Nosler BT. It's shooting a 1/4 - 1/2 moa all day long so I just wanted to try it first. I loaded 3 at 56 grains of Retumbo because I know it should be safe up to about 57 grains. Probably more. The first two shots were about 1/2" apart. Then the 3rd made it about 7/8" in a horizontal line. I had time to do 3 more so I jumped up to 56.5 grains hoping that it would pull in, but it went the other way. Shot a nice 1-3/8" triangle. So I guess tomorrow I'll load 3 at 55.5 grains and see what they do. Although I can't imagine I'll be smoking them out there at 55.5 grains of Retumbo. Maybe 2850 or something. Just at a wild guess. I'll post more after I burn some more powder. If I need to I'll move the seater but I just thought it would be nice if I could work up a load at the same spot. Then I'd have the option of loading both without a whole bunch of measuring and adjusting to get it back to the right length. [/QUOTE]
