Hey All,

I have a Nosler M48 Liberty in a 7MM that shoots the ELDX really good (factory loads). I would like to reload some at a buddies place, what are some good loads for the ELDX that have worked for others?

Thanks

tons of options out there. Grab a manual and start with some data for one of the powders in the list. I've loaded that bullet for a couple 7mags and had success with RL26 by starting at 65grs and slowly working up. You should be able to find an accurate load that goes between 2900-3000fps. Don't get too hung up on velocity though. Good luck.

I'm running H-1000 in Norma brass with Winchester large rifle magnum primers pushing the 162 ELD-X out of a Sako 85 Finlight, with fantastic results.

I'm running Hornadys published max at 68.5 grains. As you may already know but I have to say it, start lower and work your way up.

H1000 I worked up from 66.5 grains and had no pressure signs up to 72 gr.

The eldx seems to like some jump in my rifle. Instead of starting 20 thou off the lands I'd reccomend starting at spec and working out.
