Tikka .223 Wylde/80 ELD X Seating Depth…Wow…

[Lawnboi]

It definitely is for terminal performance. I’m just wanting my cake and to eat it as well. It just doesn’t hold up well in wind

Well that’s attainable too. Just build a 6br or a dasher

Oh no worries. I’ve got an 18” 6 PRC that launches 108-112 gr at 3100

...or a 6mm GT.

You can have your cake and eat it too. The 80 ELD-M is all I shoot out of my 1/7 .100 16” 223. 2800 fps and it’s phenomenal in the wind. Just the other day I made first round impacts at 970 and 1200 yards in an 8-10 mph wind.
That bullet, albeit out of my 22 CM, made a great wound channel in both mine and my partners rams at 585 and 458 yards this year.

I’m thinking of trying the 80 M in an NAS3 alloy case. With my added freebore, I’ll be right around 3k out of an 18” 223 .

Just so no one thinks I’m nuts, check out the loaded ammo manufactured and sold by Blackarc Munitions. He loads 5.56 with the NAS3 cases. His test barrels are 18”, and he turns some awesome results. One of his loads that he sells is a 73 ELD-M in an NAS3 case. 3040 fps out of an 18” gun

If you do use the Nas3 cases keep us updated with how it goes. It’s something I’ve debated doing for a while now.

First I’ve seen of those. What powder would you run? N150 is pretty full at 26.0.

From what I’ve read they have more case capacity than standard brass, so more n150 is an option.
Here is a video with 73 eld and 77tmks with 8208 XBR.
