Loaded up 10 rounds to shoot a 10 shot group at 100 yards. Figured if it went 1 MOA or better I'd run with it. First 5 were a ragged hole, then had a couple stragglers, followed by the rest in the same hole. 8 shots went 1/2" with the other 2 making it .85" Velocity is 2975fps. I blame Hornady bullets. They aren't exactly match grade by match standards...I may give the 80.5 Berger a try and see how much more accurate/consistent they are. These 75g ELDMs have been pretty picky and touchy. But I can live with it for now I guess. Time to load up a 100 and get a good dope chart from 300-1200 going.

I feel the same way about the eldm bullets. I’ve never got the same accuracy of the original amax which is irritating. I buy mostly 77gr smk. Even the blem bullets shoot better easier in my rifles than the Hornady counterparts. I use n540 and run them right about 3000fps in my 20” rifle. The 75gr bthp from Hornady also shoot better than the eldm do and are a decent bit cheaper.
