New 109 ELDM vs 108 ELDM

[wind gypsy]

I'm curious to hear how the 109s stabilize out of the 1:8 243 Tikka.

I took him saying "Hornady's software shows the stability factor at the muzzle in my current atmosphere to be 1.54, between that and my results on target I'm not sweating the twist" to mean they stabilize fine for him.

I’ve shot them out of 3 different 1-8 twist barrels at sea level. No issues.

Any with short barrel 243s at lower velocity? Useful datapoint for those considering the combo.

I plan to use them but I got a 1:7 barrel in route so shouldn't be any problem.

No sir. All shot at around 3200fps. Thank you for mentioning that.

Just got done working with some in a 20” tikka 243. I did not have good luck with them, the tightest they shot was 1.9moa but majority of the groups were 2.5-3moa. They were stabilizing at 100yds but the accuracy just wasn’t there. Maybe a different powder would have helped some but I wrote them off as I want to use the h4350 I have on hand.
