I'm shooting the ELDMs in several weights/calibers and usually start at 10 off. If they don't shoot there, then I'll start working down. In my 7-300 Win mag I shoot the 180s at 10 off, and 6 creed shoot the 108s at 10 off also. They both shoot really good there, 1/3-3/8 MOA. In my new bolt 223 Wylde build, I'm shooting the 75s at 10 off and they shoot decent, around 3/8 MOA, but they're doing the 2 and 1 out thing on all loads. So it looks like I'll have to do a seating depth test on this one and see if that will tighten up those little flyers some.I have not had a chance to shoot the 73 ELDm bullets yet, but have shot a lot of the 80 ELDm and a few of the 88s out of Wylde chambered ARs. They really like to jump. We are shooting them at .040 off the rifling (which seems to be the sweet spot) with N140 at modest velocities and they have shot really well. You might find the 73s like to jump as well.
That being said, the ACS stainless steel magazines do allow a longer OAL, but it's not much. I've also shot 20rnd Colt mags with the front cut out and they worked fine, but it was only for 8 rounds needed for shooting service rifle.
I've been seeing and reading a bit on the 22 cal ELDMs that they like to be around 20 to 50 off, so well see what happens seated further off in my 223s.
