Okay so I have a 6.5 PRC. Leaves me scratching my head a little bit. With the ELDM 140 grain bullet I can repeatably shoot sub. 5 moa groups with a particular powder.
Switch to the ElDX bullet and my horizontal dispersion is crazy! Just today I tested more loads with this bullet. Velocity spreads are the same as with the ELDM, but I am seeing a 2-3" horizontal dispersion with this bullet. Could it be that this particular rifle just really does not like the ELDX?
The Ogive from the ELDM and the ELDX are definitely different, but I have never aeen so much horizontal dispersion from one bullet to the next.
With the ELDX bullet the best I can get it to shoot is around 1.5 moa. And that is seated around .120 from the lands. The closet I go the worse the dispersion gets.
The ELDM bullet did not seem to care where I seated it in relation to the lands, but shot best around .025 off. Maybe my answer here is just stick with the ELDM?
