Been messing with trying to find a load for the 75 ELDMs. This load im shooting 44 grains of N555. 3460 fps. Here is a pic of a 7 shot group. Everytime I shoot the 75’s Most group tight but I get a few random flyers? Any idea if it’s just the bullets or my gun doesn’t like them?

When I shoot the 80.5 Berger’s I don’t have that problem. There are no flyers

Might have to load up 20 88 eldms and a max charge of n565 and revaluate with a larger sample. Speed looks good. Wind picked up and was kind of all over the place at about 10-15. Not optimal.
Tried a grain under and it was pure .
My 80 grain eldx will be here in a couple days. Probably should go ahead and order some TMKs. Then just pick a few of the more potentially good powders with each bullet.

Trying to get the bullet you want to shoot to work sometimes is like the hot chick back in high school. No matter what you do she won't go out with you But she'll hook up with your buddy just fine

You’re just banging your head against the wall. The Hornady 80 and 88gr .224 bullets are just that way. If they don’t shoot right off with one or two powders, everything have seen is that they will never consistent in that rifle.

Here’s mine from the other day. What do you think? I was shooting off my pack and don’t think my rear support was very good.

I just don't want to admit that but I think I need to move on from 88's in my new 22 Creed. Tried 4350, Retumbo and H1000. Was going for N565 next but I guess I'll just load up some 80's and 77 TMK's.

My thoughts are to stick with H1000 to get better case fill and potentially extend barrel life with the cooler powder vs H4350...
