Using Hodgdon superproformance powder and Hornady 143ELDX.
Hard to beat the good old T3.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...585cba9dd3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...49b790340b.jpg

What velocity are you getting, did you chrono it?
It would be really interesting to see some longer range drop tests with the 143gr ELD-X. I found it performed better at 300, 400, 500, 600m than any of the ballistics apps predicted. Less drop. I had to back calculate velocity to get an accurate hold calculation. Always possible the chrono is wrong of course. Either way, great bullet in 6.5mm.
Nice. What speeds were you getting?

My 260 Tikka is pretty slow as well, & it has a 24" barrel....

Yeah its frustrating when a better (more expensive) shorter barrel & smaller cartridge is faster & more accurate in the same action, compromises everywhere....:(Quote:

I think the speed I'm getting is pretty good my other one is a 18" barrel and is doing 2811fps with the 143ELDX.
I've seen others running a 22" Bartlian that are only getting 2900fps.

Can't beat the T3!
Most bangsticks work really,depends on that big nut behind the bolt..:)
I found that with my rem mag. 162 ELD-X. Had to bump up my ballistic app by 60fps during validation to marry up with my real world results.Quote:
