Typically shoot Berger 130s out of my 260 Rem (with great results) but just got some Hornady 130 ELDs on sale at PowderValley.com as an experiment. Anybody else shoot/reload the Hornady 130 ELDs? If so, how far out do you seat them? Thanks so much for your wise and experienced responses.

Hornady .264 (6.5) ELD - how far off the lands & grooves?

I seated the 140 eldms to 2.800 and shot them.
Very accurate, never messed with anything seating depth.

I haven’t shot the 130s, and like others I have found the ELDs to be pretty forgiving, but I get the best results at .050-.060 jump to the lands.
I have generally found my best accuracy with the ELD-M in my 6 and 6.5mm barrels when I was between .020 and .040 off. This is only a sample of 4 barrels though.
My current 6.5x47L that shoots the 130gr ELD-M does best at .035 off.
