    Agree 40mm at 235 meters is plenty good, something else to keep an eye on with eldx is copper fouling, in my sako a7 they were pretty bad for it but then again 100 rounds probably does require a bit of maintainence.
    What kind of speed are you getting ? Eldx work in quite a broad range of speeds from about 1800-2600fps or greater from memory, as long as you have something around that at the range you want to shoot you can adjust your drop charts to suit.
    I'm pretty new to reloading and I work off the theory find pressure then make sure your at least 1gn below that (wherever you get best accuracy) for a safe load.
    Another thing is your case prep up to scratch ? Brass sized properly, length trimmed, neck chamfered etc ?
    Good consistent cases give good consistent data.
    No digs at all just trying to help
