    Mag Feed T3 7RM Loads

    I single feed the 162 ELD-X to get them shooting in my T3 rem mag. Keen to see what loads others use that shoot well at mag length with that jump?

    I never tried anything but the ELD-X so wondering if maybe something like the TMK might be less susceptible and go better at mag length. Just gathering info to decide whether I should bother pursuing it or not.

    Cheers.

    162 eldx work well for me at mag length in a T3. 2217 and 2225 didnt quite have the accuracy I was after but 69.5 grains of 2213sc is going real well. MV = 3009 fps

    I struggled to get the eldx too shoot at mag length, so switched to Tmk and have yet too shoot a group over a inch with the Tmk, very easy bullet to get to shoot

    70.5 gr 0f 2217 at mag length Tikka SuperVarmint with a 162 AMAX. Gives me 1/2 to 1/4 MOA when I do my bit. The load did not mind the considerable jump.
    Have not tried the eld-x. Have heard that 162 eld-m is essentially the old AMAX, if I am correct you could try the eld-m. The AMAX has never let me down always cleanly killing.
