[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1549837, member: 68875"] Pick ONE headstamp for your brass...as long as it is not the Hornady headstamp. Then weight sort it to within 1-3gr difference across 100 pieces. Primer choice is great. Powder: H4831 or H1000 for those you listed. RL23 if you want to buy something else. RL26 is great until you hit 84° (which could easily be on an early rifle elk hunt, many deer hunts, and almost any antelope hunt you draw in AZ. Then RL26 spikes pressure quickly. Bullet: if you can get the 162 ELD-X to shoot, you should expect 2950-3050+. Other options to consider would be 160 Accubond, 165 Gamechanger, 168 HVLD, 175 SGK, 175 Berger Elite, 168/175 NABLR, even some of the match busts in 160-175gr like TMK, SMK, Match Burner, etc. I am an AZ guy too. And hunt from -4° to 110°+. I use H1000 in my personal 7RM under a 180 Hybrid. Works wonders on game including elk from up close and personal to the next County over. [/QUOTE]
