I'm wondering what powder might work better for the Hornady ELD-X-Hunters bullets.

Re-Loader RL-22, Hodgen H-4831 or H-4350,,, maybe IMR 4350.

The RL-22 is the slowest burn rate of the above if I'm correct, it's kinda in the mix for 30/06. It's pretty slow burn rate. It might not be wize too go this route.

I've been using IMR 4064 which is ok, but it dosen't work out for the compact loading,,, "compressed load" that is.

The Varget powder dosen't seem friendly with the 178/ 180gr as its geared more too the 150/ 165gr bullets.

What have you folks been using for compressed load powders in your field test and harvest.

Time has come too try a few smaller lots of powders too see it my grouping tightens up,,,

Semi compressed loads seems that they might be wize too consider trying

Open too ideas all.
