Any chance you could try the federal loading of the eldx? There's been some internet chrono reports of it being close to advertised 3k fps.
The hornady precision hinder seems to have fallen flat on its ass according to youtube shooters showing the low 2800's.
I remember reading about this on accurateshooter but they used a relay/timer based system. I've slowly gathering the parts for an annealing machine and recently picked up an arduino opta for my build. I'll be following as well.
So i borrowed a chrono and found my load....averaged 2870 fps over 16 rounds for a 180ttsx grouping roughly 3/4" at 100...perfectly fine for my uses! Settled on 71 grains of h4831 with a magazine limit for my COAL of 3.4"
I suggest heading over to this thread and read everything. It has helped quite a few people with their load development.

Hey guys,
What would you guys do if you go past published min/max load data and still dont have pressure signs?

My good friend has filled his freezer for the last ten years with a second hand mossberg 4x4 in 30-06. Even the scope has mossberg slapped on the side as it was a package deal. I dont think he has any intention of ever getting another rifle as his shots have all been under 200 yards.
