[QUOTE="WalksLikeADeer, post: 1551921, member: 94603"] I had NO LUCK with 162 gr ELDx whatsoever. Wasted a lot of time and money to get awful groups. I'm talking .75"(ocassionally) to 3" at 100 yards! I went back to Berger 168 gr VLD Hunting and it's hard to get a bad load. No matter the variable they are always under 1 MOA. I've had the best luck with Remington brass. The primer pockets just never seem to get loose but CCI primers seem to fit tighter than others. I anneal every loading. Just retired some brass after about 15 loadings not because of any signs or loose pockets, just because I thought I should. I use H1000 for temperature stability, CCI 200, Remington brass and Berger 168 gr VLD Hunting. My best load is 70.2 H1000 @ .030 off the lands and groups .35" Redding Body die, Lee Neck Collet die and Forster Ultra Micrometer seating die. K&M neck turner .002" shoulder bump with .002 neck tension, no crimp. Good Luck and have fun! [/QUOTE]
