    Dont over think it! Forget the cannelure, its just some fancy line around your boolit for another purpose, and has no relevance with your reloads. It is preferable to have your bullet seated bearing...

    I use the deep creek method for finding the lands. 1. Strip down your bolt (firing pin, extractor. Everything that will put pressure on the case). 2. Find a sized case where the bolt drops freely...

    Here's the exit on a fallow hit with a 7mm 180 ELD-M. 176038 The M's do just fine, even up close, provided they aren't pushed too hard.

    The use of M's these days would have stemmed from the extensive and successful use of the old AMAX. Which was in fact by design a match projectile but good old Kiwi's turned it into a deer slayer...

    Quite common yes. Often used for long rang hunting applications as when impact velocity decreases the softer ELD-M expands quite reliability and creates good wound chanels. Some harder purpose built...

    Those are their stated purposes as per Hornady, yes. The M's certain don't bounce off of deer though. They're both jacketed hollowpoints with polymer tips when you cross section them.
