[QUOTE="Go 8mm, post: 1585401, member: 107628"] I had problems in my custom 7x57 with the 162 grain ELDX. It's the projectile. The combination of muzzle velocity, barrel length and flight time to the target it what causes it. The plastic tips are melting..... Hornady denied it to me. 100 yards they shoot like a dream.... Scratch your head at 200... 300 is *** shooting and 400 cant hit 8" silhoutte... I called Hornady they claimed every thing from my loading to how my rifle was chambered. Funny thing is I dont have that problem with 160 grain sierra match kings. The rounds where pushing 2840 FPS. I would imagine your Nosler is faster... So the as your projectile flies the tip deforms more... Further the target the worse the groups. I loaded up qty 100 and was so disappointed. Hornady didn't offer me any compensation. My rifle also has a 26" barrel longer barrels transfer more heat to projectiles. [/QUOTE]
