I loaded some in 300 win 178 eld x with reloader 25 and shot two groups of 4 at 100 then one group at 200 then one group at 300.
and all were very good under 1 Moa.Two of the groups were clover leafs,so I was very please,because for a few days things weren't going my way,then it happened ,just what I wanted.
reloader 25 / 77.4 grains

Nosler brass

federal 215 primer

3070 fps

.040 off the lands ,the sauer barrel has a bit of a deep throated and reloader 25 likes a bit of a jump with a coal of 3.525 went with a coal to 3.545,but then I found the sweet spot at 3.525 .
Tried n560 plus reloader 22 with 180 accubonds and had to restart,This barrel on the sauer 202 likes the ELD X in 178 with reloader 25.No pressure signs so that the way it stays.I also loaded some in 300wsm 178 grn,7mm rm and 7 mm wsm both with 162 ELD X ,but haven't tested them yet.


Do not use this info on your rifle,it took me a week to finally figure the powder and bullet choice ,for my barrel,not yours. Start low and work your way up on all loads.

I shoot the 162g ELD-X from my 7mm Rem Mag Savage 116 Trophy Hunter mounted with a Burris Veracity 5x25x50.

My rifle LOVES this ammo. Bagged 3 deer this year with that ammo. 1 @ 100yards dropped. 1 @ 205yards ran 10yards. 1 @ 235+yards dropped.

IF your rifle likes it, you will be pleased with the results!!!!!!!
