Nice group @ 3200 fps looks sub 1", I'd roll with those standard caps. R_26 seems to light right up.

I always liked the look of the Gibbs cases also, I remember the first one I saw some 30 years ago a local guy left a few of his 25 Gibbs empty cases on the local shooting bench. I thought it was so cool. Anyway, fast forward 20 years and I finally had Ray Romain make me a 270 Gibbs for a Dall Sheep hunt. My dies are just Redding dies and really fire forming is easy. Some people don't like the fire forming but I have about 100 formed cases now so that will last me a long time.

Any updates on how the 145 gr ELD-X is working for the guys who have tried them?

I'm interested in how these ELDs turn out for others...
I've picked up some 212, and 220s in 30 caliber...
and then picked up some 143 grainers in 6.5 mm today, that I am going to road test those in a 260 VLS, a long action 6.5 x 57 and 6.5 x 55...
Still haven't seen any of the 147s on the shelves...

Good grief. 37" drop from a 100 yard zero and 14" drift @ 500.
Don't call it a comeback......
