Shot a match today with it.

.327 G1BC got me consistent hits out to 780 yards at 2500 ft DA, 2560 fps.

Nice, very close to what I found as well

Hey guys. I am currently reading through this entire thread. I will still end up reading it all, but I wanted to ask a question. Is there a consensus for best non custom ammo to use for the .223? Is the eldm a solid choice for deer? I am in the middle of sighting in and finding a hunting bullet. Gun will be what my son uses for his first deer hunt this year, also after shooting it a bunch it might be my favorite gun I have ever owned. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

What twist is your rifle’s barrel?

I use the 75 ELDM with excellent results. I believe the 73 would be equivalent.
