Thread: 168gr eld-m superformance .308 accuracy

fella bought brand new sako in .308 salesman sold him two boxes of the 150grn superpreformance.....3 flattened primers,one blown primer out of the fourty and a lovely wee flinch developing......tried some of my hotter reloads in same rifle and absolutely NO sign of pressure...methinks they are NOT a good load to be spending good coin on...no way in hell they will be goingthrough any of my rifles.

Yeah all superformance has been accurate in my sako 75 never had any issues. If they don't work out I'll get someone to reload them for me. Looks to be a good all rounder for down here, some places it's almost impossible to get within 500 yards.

Christ thats a horror story. When was this?

@Micky Duck

I bought a box of the 165gr SST superformance.

Had 2 very tight bolt openings after firing and flat primers so after 2 rounds I thought I'd quit whilst I was ahead.

I do know of more people having good success with the stuff to be fair

Try the 168 precision hunter. I know they work well in kimbers 10 twist

Do you mean 178gr eld-x?

Precision hunter comes in a 168 eldm

I think those ones are only going 2700, probably a bit slow in my barrel. I'll just get someone to reload for me if the superformance doesn't work out. My mate had a bad experience using the eldx in his 280ai so I won't go near those.

Nothing on their website, the only 308 precision hunter load is 178 eldx

Yeah that's what I thought.

He may mean hornady match or hornady black ammo. 168eldm in 308

Yeah I'm sure there's only the standard match and superformance loads and then the 178 eldx

You might be right. I threw away the boxes. I pretty sure hornady Is using win760 in that load as I pulled one apart and duplicated the speed and accuracy with the eldm
