Three shots, three mulie bucks, 217, 170, 102 yards. Farthest recovery was 35 feet. All bullets exited. 2798 fps mv.

Sorry I couldn't show a pic. The tenderloins were delicious.

Way to go Pharm... sounds like the ELD’s thrive in the medium speed cartridges. Way to go. Congrats.
 
Very nice!

Kind of interesting how well-behaved bullets are when launched at "normal" velocity rather than super-duper velocity.

Congratulations on you guys bagging those deer. Sounds like the ELD-X does pretty good if not pushed too fast.
 
Elk are next. Two Mighty -08s and a 7mm Rem Mag shooting 162 ELDX at close to 3100 mv.

Guy, completely agree with your statement. When I work up a load I shoot till I find one that gives me the best accuracy and that's where it ends. I'm sure it saves my barrel life and the buttstock sure feels better on the shoulder.

I just started messing with these bullets in an Xbolt 7-08 I picked up. First round of development with varget showed most groups around 1” at 100, with a lot of “2 in, 1 out”. This was at mag length which is .033 off the lands. Next step is to test seating depths, so out of curiosity, how far off the lands are you with this load?
