[QUOTE="IdahoNP, post: 1220738, member: 75630"] If anyone cares, the Berger ladder seems to apply well to the ELD-X. I altered it, because I don't want to buy bottom metal unless I have to. I started at "barely feeding in the mag" length. So this is the result of my ladder. Keep in mind that I had extra high rings (my lows won't be here until sometime this week), so my cheek weld was poor. There might have been a lot more accuracy available than I could utilize. Savage-Criterion .300 Win Mag 26" 1:10 Varmint contour Hornady ELD-X 212 gr Hornady Brass CCI 250 H1000 71.0gr (very mild load) 2675 fps SD 12fps 0.080 off lands 1.35 MOA 0.120 off lands 0.26 MOA 0.160 off lands 0.5 MOA (0.19 MOA if I don't count my called flyer- I'll load some more at that depth and see) 0.200 off lands 1.45 MOA They aren't depth-insensitive after all, at least in my rifle, bu they might have a wider sweet spot than the Bergers. I will keep playing with them, and see what more I can squeeze out of them, once my low rings are here. Thanks again everyone. You all rock! [/QUOTE]
