[QUOTE="Clem Bronkoski, post: 1727892, member: 110518"] Thanks Doc. Right now I am trying to find a baseline. I already know 40.0 gr shoots fairly well. I double checked my manuals and the max load for this bullet and H4350 is 41.8. I will start at 40 gr and move up to 42.3 gr in .3 gr increments probably shooting 2 rounds of each. Honestly though I don't think my chrony is accurate enough. If I could afford it I'd get a magneto to hang on my barrel. My other alternative is to load 3 - 5 rounds of each and shoot them "round robin" at a series of target dots and see how and where they impact around the dots. (OCW) One disadvantage I already noticed is with the ELD-x bullets I can't get closer than .030" off the lands and still use the factory AICS magazine. I noticed this when I went to the range. The rounds chambered nicely at .015" off the lands but were a tad too long for the mag. This last bunch I have the bullets seated just deep enough to clear the magazine and feed properly. [/QUOTE]
