7mm 180g ELDM

Just picked up a box of these to try in the 7-300 win mag with a 28" Bartlein 9 twist...Have plenty of H1K and Retumbo...Let's hope they shoot! Hoping for 3000fps and under 1/2 MOA. If so, they will probably replace my beloved 162 AMAX at 3150fps...

Those are some looong bullets. Impressive BC for sure.
That would make for a dandy elk load.

Looking forward to seeing what they do Jorey. They shot pretty well with RL33 in my Mashburn. I’d imagine you won’t have any issues making them work.

How far off the lands and what velocity Scotty?

 

[SJB358]

Jorey, my rifle has a long throat so I loaded them to Mag length which is a touch over 3.625” which put the bullet at least .100” off the lands. I tried a couple of the same charges I used with the 175 Partitions and got 3030’ish. I’m not right near my books but I believe it was 83 grains of 33 in reformed RWS cases with CCI250’s. It was very accurate though. Never got a chance to really shake them out at longer distances but I have 0 doubts it wouldn’t have been good.

Sounds good. Thanks Scotty.
