Good. About like a ballistic tip. Not sure about 280 but in the AI version R26 is 100 fps faster than H4831 or any other powder I’ve tried.Does anyone have any terminal ballistic info on the ELDX to share? How does it perform on game?
They work ok on whitetails here in Wisconsin, they usually run about 20 or 30 yards before they pile up. They also seem to exit on a weird angle. I have recovered every deer though, and have shot about 10 deer between 100 and 650 yards 300 wsm . Accuracy wise they are incredible.Does anyone have any terminal ballistic info on the ELDX to share? How does it perform on game?
I agree with you on the accuracy. Penetration for me has been lacking in my 260 Rem.They work ok on whitetails here in Wisconsin, they usually run about 20 or 30 yards before they pile up.

A good friend tried them on an elk and it was a disaster, it seems like the bullet doesn’t penetrate properly. 300 nmi at various ranges
I have not been the Tulsa gun shows in 25 years!!! Loved those shows with the 2500 tables on two floors!!! Is it still at the convention center with the really Big Cowboy Statue out front?????After hunting around for a couple years I finally picked up an older 700 in 280 rem. at the Tulsa gun show. I’m anxious to work up a load for it and was wondering if anyone has any experience with the 150 or 162 eldx, if so whats your favorite load?
Can you give a little more detail on this? I'm planning on using the 150gr 284s in my 7x57 this upcoming fall.I agree with you on the accuracy. Penetration for me has been lacking in 7x57.
I need to correct my post. The ELDX failure I have experienced has been with the 260 Remington, not the 7x57. in 7x57 I have not tried the ELDX ; have had excellent results with the Nosler 160 gr Partition & the discontinued Hornady AMAX, which I stocked up on. Also real good accuracy with the 150 gr Accubond but have not shot any game with it yet.Can you give a little more detail on this? I'm planning on using the 150gr 284s in my 7x57 this upcoming fall.
