Remember the length of the bullet matters, and the 175 grain bullets can vary widely in this regard
For example, have you tried the 175 grain Hornady ELD-X in the 9.5 twist?
Yep, I remember: all bullets of the same weight aren't created equal. Profiles can be different.
No, I haven't tried any of the ELD-Xs of any weight. I think I'd probably top out at 162 if I did, if for no other reason than I'm moving away from heavier bullets, C&C or otherwise. Have you shot any of the 175 ELD-Xs in either the 7x57 or 7-08? If so, how did they shoot in a 1:9.5? I'm curious.
I haven't had excellent results in 1-9.5 with 175 ELD's myself in 7 Rem's, but only a few tries.
