223/75g ELDM nailed

[remingtonman_25_06]

Loaded up 10 rounds to shoot a 10 shot group at 100 yards. Figured if it went 1 MOA or better I'd run with it. First 5 were a ragged hole, then had a couple stragglers, followed by the rest in the same hole. 8 shots went 1/2" with the other 2 making it .85" Velocity is 2975fps. I blame Hornady bullets. They aren't exactly match grade by match standards...I may give the 80.5 Berger a try and see how much more accurate/consistent they are. These 75g ELDMs have been pretty picky and touchy. But I can live with it for now I guess. Time to load up a 100 and get a good dope chart from 300-1200 going.

Super Duper!

Meh, good enough for Hornady bullets haha. I've done just about all I can with em and this is the best I can do. I'm tired of messing with it already. Taken 150 rounds to get to this point. Ready to start having fun with the rifle now.

Nice shooting Jorey. The load is good to go.

Looks good. The 80.5 Bergers work well in my son’s Wylde on top of N140.

I get it-I love Hornady bullets for what they are, but if I am getting serious for for groups or scoring for a match of some kind, I go a different route.

Yup! I'm gonna pick up a box of 80.5g Bergers today and when I get some exyta time play with them a bit.

Nice shooting/load. Curious of your barrel length and velocity if you have it?
