    .308Winchester with Hornady 200gr ELD-X

    I’ve been toying with the idea of the 200gr ELD-X out of my .308 Winchester. After a couple conversations with people I’ve decided to do it. It’ll probably take longer than I want because of time constraints, but phase one is complete, I got 300 bullets from Wes. Ready for phase 2.

    Phase 2 complete. The rifle is a short action Remington 700 with 26” shilen barrel, Rifle basix trigger set at 16oz. It has a ken Ferrell 20moa base. I just put it in a magpul 700 hunter stock, and am waiting for scope rings to arrive to mount leupold MKIV 6.5-20. Almost done prepping brass so I can get some loads started up. Thinking of trying imr4064, varget, and rl15.

    I’m hoping for about 2400fps.
