[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 2940350, member: 10429"] Yes I to have tried to almost reck my 308 pushing it hard with over about 8 different powders chasing speed with a 195ELDM. Best I ever got and still wasn’t reliable was about 2725, Powder had no temp stability and was severely compressed to the point I was loading really long. So on a whim I loaded some 212eldx with 41 grains of accurate 4064. Slow load 2470 but shot really well holding sun MOA out to and past 600yrds. Factory rifle so some will say not impressed but that’s ok. This was about 3 shots fired Remington brass trimmed and prepared cci br2 at 2.830. It right at pressuring out. 41.3 had ejector swipes. This load has no extraction issues, no swipes, no flattening on the primers and seem to be consistent in my rifle. Now that hunting season is over I will try and improve the load. I also thought about the 210 Berger or 210ABLR as well but at over 100 dollars a box for the ABLR the red and yellow boxes will do fine. Still not a 1000yrd rifle but it’s maxing out the 308 the best way I know how. Heavy bullets with high BC at the best consistency I can get. Really thought when shooting elk I’m taking my 300RUM.
