57.8 Rl26, fed 210m, 140eldM, Norma brass. 3125 26" bartlein. Shoots bug holes. Could never get h1000 to work in this one, switched to rl26 and it was minty. Killed my Nevada elk with this setup, 1 shot.
63.0 H1000, RP 300 SAUM brass necked down/turned, Tula LRM primers, 130 VLDhunting
58.8gr RL 26, 143 ELDX .01 off lands, Fed 215 primer, Hornady neck turned brass to .013 thickness. 3085fps Proof barrel
Rem brass 61.2 H1000 140 vld or hybrid at .020 jump 3080 FPS
Norma brass 60.5 H1000 140 vld or hybrid at .020 jump 3080 FPS
I had some of the original ELDX that shot great but were explosive at these MV speeds even at 460 yards on antelope.
I've since got a new lot if bullets and they have been very good on game out of my 6.5 creed at 2780 MV, still a little reluctant to try them on game out of the saum but I'll try them next year in the prc at 2990 MV
