    New Hornady 230gr ELDX 338

    So this picture is of a 500 yard target when I was doing powder development.... before I did landseeting depths to pull the shots even closer. So with the bullet kissing the lands I was getting a nice little cluster at 500 yards, 4.9" wide X 2.1" height. I do not have the target of the seating...

    New Hornady 230gr ELDX 338

    So after long tests over the summer in a few of my .338 win mags, I am very much liking this new eld-x ammo. Shoots groups as tight if not tighter as my 225gr accubonds loads, but with half the cost and better BC. For this years hunting season I sucefuly harvested a cow elk at 890 yards. For my...

    Sub sonic 338 Win mag?

    I have a few .338 win mags and was thinking of making my ruger m77 into a subsonic rifle. Would be interested in seeing if anyone also has done this?

    Rifle Scopes Question on Sig Scopes and other "2nd Tier" brands

    I've had the scope now for about a year and really like it. I got it used for a screaming deal, and I don't think anything comes close in terms of quality for under $800. the gen1 tango 6 is not on the same level as my atacr, but it also doesn't cost almost 4x as much. Great little scope, you...

    New Hornady 230gr ELDX 338

    Wow that's very close to the lands. I have not started playing with the seating depth yet, was just gathering data for my velocity numbers. Aiming at a rock at 950 yards on a side of a mountain and checking for consistency. Found two loads that the gun likes now I will narrow that down and play...

    New Hornady 230gr ELDX 338

    Finially the weather hit 40 in Montana and I was able to get into the mountains and do a little more shooting. I hit pressure at 79gr of RL19 in the 338 win mag with 230gr eldx bullets. The average velocity was 3,045fps. I will be taking it down to 78gr and 75gr of RL19 and playing with those...

    New Hornady 230gr ELDX 338

    I am using a aluminum rod of about 18" and slowly pour the RL19 in. Every 1/3 of powder I stop and tap the base of the cartrage for a few seconds to settle the powder down even more. When I was loading my last batch of 80gr RL19, and seating the bullet, I know this is the max for this case and...

    New Hornady 230gr ELDX 338

    I wanted to try my 78.5 and 79 of RL19 but winter has hit Montana once again so staying inside untill the storm passes. BurnOut keep us posted on your adventure with your 338win and 230eld-x, maybe start a new thread with your build so we don't take over the OP thread.

    New Hornady 230gr ELDX 338

    BurnOut are you trying to get a 338win mag to shoot over 2800fps with the 230eld-x?
