[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 2015198, member: 48043"] Typically it's a barrel that is bit loose for some reason or doesn't have a great crown that will shoot not so well with boat tails and better with flat base. My tikka 270 does well with ballistic tips but I haven't worked with eld-x with either it or my son's tikka in 7rem. I am running eld-x in my younger son's 6.5 creed and my 7rum. I still have some 30 cal 200 eld-x on the shelf I have zero use for as the 4 30's I own do not seem to like them; I've gone through 100 of them trying. My 7rum was a fluke; it has an 8" twist Brux barrel on it and was chewing up every 175gr+ match bullet I tried and causing jacket failures. I drop in 175 eld-x pills and H50BMG and she settled down and started tossing 1" groups at 200. The 6.5 creed has shot the 143 eld-x since before we took ownership of it. edited for clarity...
