Dogshooter,
I'll carry your rifle if I don't have to pay ☺
Trystan
You’re not invited.... thanks for the beer though. The beer is to give you some liquid courage because you can't seem to find any sober. I offered to pack your rifle because I'm only gonna be packing 3 rifles and a 90 lb pack. The money I was going to give you is so you can get your nails done. I'm going to the Icebreaker......pretenders generally don't show up. See you there.....Not! Trystan

Just an update on how well the 147 eld-m does out of a stock tikka T3 with a fixed 6
I shot my third group at 500 yds that was pushing the 1" mark this week. Shot 5 groups total so not a bad average. This bullet impresses me as far as accuracy considering I haven't weight sorted nor special hand picked any of them. This post is intended for informational and learning purposes concerning the 147 eld though its bound to piss off those who are incapable of learning. Tomarro a special treat just for the crybaby crowd.

Thanks for the report. I'm using the 162gr 7mm ELD-M in my 7-08 but haven't got to shoot game with it yet. What load and what velocity are you getting . Thanks for your time. Cheers NC

Not that I chase FPS, just curious what you found above this load. That's what I'm running these at out of a 24" CM and a X47 with H4350/Varget. What powder you running?

Not that I chase FPS, just curious what you found above this load. That's what I'm running these at out of a 24" CM and a X47 with H4350/Varget. What powder you running? Josh, I'm using Reloaded 26. I loaded from 47 grains to 50 grains and velocity was 2500 ish to 2760 ish. I stopped at 49.5 only because it was stacking em. There is no lab pressure data for reloader 26 and the 6.5 Swede so not really sure where I am pressure wise. The bolt opens with the lift of my pinky finger however and primers are very rounded. IMO there's 100 fps on the table easy which would only be about 1/2 a grain from where I stopped. I posted my results of my load workup in the gunwriter section if you want to take a more informed look I'm headed to the range today and a good buddy showed me how to do a you tube video ☺ Trystan

I've heard good reviews of that combination of R 26 and 147's. The guy that I talked to shoots alot more than me, but I have yet to stumble on any of that powder at our local shops. Looks like I'm gonna have to order online....
Thanks for the info Trystan.

So, all this time it was two shot groups? Its not a varmint rifle or a competition rifle. Its for hunting and in a hunting rifle I want to know what I can expect my first 2 shots cold bore. If consistency isn't good enough to make the first 2 count then I don't take the shot. That's been working pretty well for going on 30+ years now. I would argue that a 2 shot group for one day doesn't mean much. 6 days in a row IMO starts to tell a story. This story isn't done as I need to shoot in zero temps a number of times to get the rest of the story Trystan
