Any body shooting 6.5 cm with 143 eldx Hornady reload? Need to work some up. But my tikka is getting 0.5 moa at 100 to hard to change.

I have an unopened box of 143 ELD-X and I'd like to dial in a load for them as well. Just haven't gotten to it yet.

My tikka really likes those 143 ELDX in Lapua Brass, CCI small magnum primers, and 41.3 gr of H4350. Shoots tiny ragged holes when I do my part.

Looks like it is going to be the 30 Nosler coming with me this year. Headed to the range this morning to do the last bit of testing.

Berger 210 VLDH, CCI 250, 78.4 gr of H1000 in Nosler Brass.

Not excited about the Berger bullet, but it is the only bullet this rifle likes. Shoots well, but given a close encounter with a grizzly, I would prefer a better penetrating option

Did you try Accubonds? I have used them in a few guns and they always perform well.

What brass and primers are you running with that load? That is pushing a 143 ELD-X, Correct?

 

[Mulyhuntr]

Starline large primer with CCI standard large rifle. 42.0 is slightly above published max, but I had zero pressure signs up to 43.3grns

Working up a load for both my Remington 660 rifles in 6.5 rem mag. Switching to copper and the Barnes 100 gr. TTSX looks promising over RL19, RL17, or H4350. Should be around 3300 FPS out of that 20” barrel and function well in the short magazine. Should be good for desert mule deer.

Cool! I've got a 660 chambered in .308. It was my first rifle.

Yeah, I bought mine in 1968 when I was in high school, my dad had a ffl and was a machinist and gunsmith. He liked mine so much he bought one too and I inherited it when he passed away 5 years ago. I think I paid $150 for the gun and a weaver K4 scope, dealer cost!

Nice! That really is cool. Mine was given to me by my father and grandfather on my 12th birthday a month before my first deer season. They have both since passed as well, but I have two boys who will be using it soon in another 2 years. Pretty special

Going to be using a 308 out west this year for elk and mule deer.
Been trying 178 ELD-X and Varget with not a lot of success. Got some loads ready to test with H4895 and Starline brass to try.
I have a good load with 168 grain ELD-M using H4895, br-2, and ADG brass. Going out tomorrow to shoot this load to 300 yards to see what it will do. This will be my load if I can't get the 178 ELD-X working.
I am also close with a good load with Lapua 155 grains with varget and ADG brass. Just need to tweak the charge and test.

For whitetails here in KY, I have:
6.8 SPC, 110 grain Accubonds, H322
223 with 65 grain Sierra GKs, CFE223

Great to see the Hammers getting loaded. mtmuley

 

[bitbckt]

225 Game King’s and RL15 shot really well for me. Probably gonna go with the 225 TSX.

Nailed down a load today with 59.0 of RL15 and 225 TSX in The Colonel. It's shooting 5 shot groups of .5 MOA @ 100 yds.

[edit] Forgot to mention: 2680 fps at the muzzle from the LabRadar.
