    39.5gr 2206h, lapua brass and federal magnum primer. 2680fps out of an 18" bbl 708 with the 162eldx. Bit hot but sub MOA and heaps of boogey. Obviously you know to work up to anything

    Do the eldx perform better on game at 7mm08 speeds than the eldm? I use 162 eldx in my rem mag and I'm going to do a load up for the 7mm08 for hunting and thought the eldx might be good?

    Unsure as I have never had any experiences with the eldx. I rate the eldms on game though. Ran them somewhere around 2800~

    Yep. Makes me think about going back to a 708 rather than my 284 haha
