Pharm, just saw this. Might relieve you of those!

Got some stuff to report. I have set up a new LR spot (Weyerhouser can KISS MY ASS!) and have been getting, and verifying, drop dope with my new NF NXS, on the old 162 AMAX and the ELD-X. My new spot has steel hung to ~ 900 yards. At 600 I was able to verify that the Amax and ELD-X were both on the 10" plate. I've also had hits on the 10" 900-yard plate with it using the Amax dope, but I wanted to be sure... today I had a spotter (shout out to Mr. B!) and was able to verify that my 7 WSM put 3 Amax's and two ELD-X's into an elk-lung size group at 900 yards. The spotter called them out as all in the same group. So..... I'm just gonna say it, for MY purposes the older Amax and the ELD-X are interchangeable to 900.

I like that. Hopefully I'll get to try one on a mulie here soon and then a spike elk after that. A guy can dream! smile

Cannot WAIT for some terminal reports to start coming in on the ELD-X. smile

The CENTER will hold.

My 300WM loved the 208 AMAX but couldn't get the 212 ELD-X under MOA until I jumped it further. I know r22 isn't the best due to temp sensitivity but I got 15 #'s cheap and have only seen 170 fps loss going from 90 to 20 degrees.

5rds prone off bipod with jacket under the butt the other day, it does better off a full front and rear rest:

I hope you have a good hunting season.
You are doing very well with your shooting and reloading.
Keep up the good work.
