    That's 2675 fps out of my gun with a 168 amax and about 100 fps slower with a 178 amax. Your eld's should be pretty close to that speed. No pressure signs, and no compressed loads. It meters pretty good also.

    Try the Nosler custom competition 168gr bthp with Varget powder. So far mine has liked between 41 and 42gr. Once I'm able to shoot again I'll dial it the rest of the way in. Out of curiosity I loaded up 5 of 41 and 42gr again. Tested them at 150 yards. You could cover each group with a quarter.

    I just ordered some of the 200gr eld-x hopefully I will get to do some load development width them in the next couple months. With 3 kids in football, very little time for anything. When I do get around to it, I will start a thread about the load development.
