Yeah mine stabilized the 73eldm, unfortunately it didn't shoot very well and went back
Unfortunately with bergara the 223 tubes are a bit hit and miss they'd had more than a couple returned.

I second this, trying to get info off there was not an enjoyable experience

My old Howa barrel was supposedly 1-9" and stabilized the Hornady 75BTHPs, they're a good cheap option that performs

Both the Bergara 223s I had here shot 75s just fine . . .

75 ELDM?

I'm going to get some sample packs of a few different projectiles because I can't help myself when it comes to experimenting.

I may even try the 10 shot group at a near max charge method just to try it out.

Would be a better method with sample packs for sure

If it shoots the 73 ELDM or 77tmk they are both an awesome bullet as are the 69 and 80 grn targex.

Yup

I have some 73 ELD-Ms and 77 TMKs and 69 Targex you can try if you like.

Marginally stable doesn't mean poor precision at 100 by any means necessarily. A Marginally stable bullet at close range can and will often shoot well, but will have BC degradation at longer range

It's not like you get an SG of 1.3 and suddenly whoa 6 inch groups

Appreciate the offer @Shearer I ordered some sample packs from Gunworks

Going to get hold of Targex and get some of his to try as well.

Now to find some dies...

Also still waiting on the rifle

So if you have a too long,too heavy projectiles for the rifling twist....will it yaw soon enough to cause baffle strike???

I don't want to find out, so I'll be testing without suppressor
