Yes the ELDM has a much longer bearing surface. Needs a longer freebore. Like a .220 or soMight offer a caution on the Hornady 195gr ELD-Match . I have a 2013 F-TR Chamber on my TR Rifle , and when the 220.20x got non-existent , I thought okay ; and bought three boxes of the Hornady 195's . When I did some checking , I found that the Base of the bullet was sitting at the base of the shoulder of the Brass . Some may not think this to be a issue , but I personally won't load any bullet that deep in the case . I might add that I very seldom seat more than a maximum .020 off touch .
I did find a alternative for thousand yard practice , and that is the Sierra 190gr SMK , HPBT , #2210 . Haven't tried them yet , but they do meet my parameters regarding seating depths .
