Does the Norma brass have crimped primer pockets?

Norma 77g match does not.

Anyone loading 80 grain eldx's? Bought a box for the 22 Creed and the current barrel hates them.

Thought about loading some tests to see how the Rokslide trainer likes them.

My go to is a max load of n140 and tmks. But I love to tinker.

The only way I could get them to shoot decent in the trainer was loading them long which is not an issue if your magazine allows for that but they never did as well as the 75BTHP, 77 AM, 77 TMK or 80.5FB.

It’s tough not having the access to good ammo like they have in the states.

I’ve had great luck with the Hornady 73g eldm’s, but at 2.50$ a shot it’s tough.

I didn’t know PMC had a 77g I’ll have to look into that.

I shoot ELDm’s out of my 6.5CM, but wanted the .223 because it’s just too damn expensive to get in a lot of rounds down range.

I found firearmsoutletcanada and g4Cgunstore had the best selection of .223 ammo.

I know @Thegman has used 80gr bullets. I don’t recall if they were eld-m or -x though.

So far I've only used the ELD-M (73, 75, 80 and 88s) but would like to try the 80 ELD-X at some point as well.

Well so far ive done 2 of the mamba 10 round mags and they both feed well with 75 eldms, I dont know if you could go alot more without running into follower issues but so far these feed. Will put them to the test beating the dog crap out of them coyote hunting soon.
