    I used to run the 180gr berger hybrid in my old tikka. Dabbled with the 180 eldm but never got far with it before i sold the rifle. In all honesty looking back it was no more efficient than a 162eldm, just a cool factor thing.

    And how did the 180’s go for mag length vs an accurate seating depth?
