Generally, anyone with a $100 press can build a load a whole lot better than factory, as far as consistency etc. I’ve run a lot of 6.5 ELD-x thru my 6.5x55 and they are very accurate. Even took em up close to 3000 FPS no probs.
Thanks I have all the equipment I’m actually looking for what loads are working for other guys with the 143 eldx.
minor differences between rifles will dictate a truly accurate load for each rifle.
.005 difference in length and .5 grains of a particular powder on a cartridge can make a large difference in accuracy depending on the individual rifle.
Your best bet is to start with the Hornady load manual and work up a load from there.

Rel 17 seems to work well in my Sako A7 Roughtech Range.
These are the first 4 groups I put through it at 100 meters.
The smallest group is .40", the largest is .50". I think it might shoot.
However I did not check velocity.
