Thread: Having problems with edlx.s

@wayno
I had a lot of trouble with 150 ELD-X in my 7mm08 when I first started to use them. What I found was they a very sensitive to seating depth and a similar profile to Berger VLD so I used their Recommendations in the VLD making it shoot pdf which is online. Basically I loaded some at 130-thou, 90-thou and 50-thou off the lands and shot groups with them and found that 50-thou out shot the other groups by a long shot, but unfortunately they were far to long to fit in my mag.
Out of desperation I spent $75.00 of my hard earned money and brought a packet of Precision Hunter Ammo and these shoot great they are 2.787" OAL long so you could try that length for a start. Interestingly this is 189-thou form the lang on my rifle so go figure.
When I get time and get a bit low on the Precision Hunter Ammo I'm going to try reloading some again at the same OAL length.
I hope this helps a bit
