Great groups. Can't complain with velocities and SDs. Definitely whitetail worthy in my book. 400 yards and under would be my guess on ELDX performance envelope for proper expansion. May be better than that. I used ELDX 7MM some very accurate and great bullet performance. I have seen 300 yards and impressive wound on an elk with 300 Win Mag my daughter harvested a few years ago also. Good choice for hunting. Some don't like it. But looks pretty decent to me. Happy hunting.
Did you hunt with the 6 GT or 6 ARC? I’ve killed 3 deer this season with my Howa 6 ARC bolt gun and 108 ELDM handloads. Very impressed with the cartridge. My Tikka 6.5 CM barrel is about shot out so I’m considering a 6 GT build to get 2850 with 108 ELDMs. I think this will be a sweet spot with recoil, velocity and barrel life (2500-3000) rounds.
You are aware that Hodgdon dropped IMR 4166. General Dynamics has not produced any in several years. They have higher priorities, like providing ammunition to defend the democratic world.
Cool, Always good to see someone with success, with 4166 . Cannot say i've had the same results brother.😢
When you were taking your last shots, I wasn't watching the screen for a second and could hear the difference on the last loads. Good shootin'
Great video, ELDX has expansion issues at close ranges less than 100 yards !

Yes I'm aware they discontinued this powder. Shame they are reducing production of some really good powders.
Is that an Accu-Tac bipod? What model? Do you like it?
Wb-4. I made a video when I got it.
I use 4166 in my hunting load. Sadly that day is coming to an end
