[QUOTE="planetwaves, post: 1584058, member: 84697"] I have tried ELDx factory ammo in two of my rifles. A 300 WM (200gr ELDx) an a 270 Win (145 ELDx). The results were so bad, I didn't pursue hand loading with that bullet. At 100 yards the 270 groups were 2 to 3 inches and the 300 WM groups were 3 to 4 inches. After firing the 20 factory rounds in each rifle, my handloads that had previously printed cloverleafs and single holes (130 gr Ballistic Tips for the 270 and 185gr Berger Classic Hunters for the 300 WM) were printing larger groups. After a thorough cleaning the handloads were back to normal (single hole and cloverleaf groups). So I agree with previous comments that ELDx bullets don't shoot well in some rifles and they leave so much copper fowling that it affects accuracy. [/QUOTE]
