Hornady eld match bullets

[Snipe]

Does anyone have a load they have made for a 308 using the new eld match.

Thanks

Which bullet weight?

I load 178 gr ELD-X hunting bullets. I used the same start load data for 180 gr bullets and worked up to a load that I liked. I haven't used the 155 Hornady's, but my 155 gr Berger load is the same load I use with 150 gr SST's.

I played around with the 200 gr ELD-X bullets in 308, but in my very limited experience haven't found a load I like yet. Probably will save the 200's for my 30-06.

With the 178 gr eld-x, I have a load for my AR-10 using IMR4064. BR2 primers...I found about 41-42 gr to produce an accurate load.

Then in my .300 win mag I use 225 gr ELD-M.

Hornady's 10th lists all of their 165 - 168 grain bullets on page 478 and their 178 - 180 grain bullets on page 479. The ELD matches and ELD-X's use the same load data as the AMAX, SST, BTHP Match bullets etc.
