Problem is I don’t reload and couldn’t find any info on buying from someone that makes this cartridge. Anyone you may know that sell this cartridge ready to go? Thanks in advance Donnie

I’m kinda digging 162eldx in Lapua brass at 275O for a 20” proof for fire form loads. Headed to kill some antelope in a few days with my smith. He will be taking my rifle back to his lair when we part and he will be building me my third 7-08ai. It’s simply a SA 280.

I did work with 160's a little. I don't remember the load recipe. I looked but could not find the old load sheets. Sorry.

I’ve have used RL 17, Varget, H4350,H414 ,H380 and (rl19 worst by far). With 139, 140,150,154,160,162 the Eld is by far tops. Last edited by fredIII; 09/20/19.

It was just after that when I began a spread sheet with all of that info on it. It dates back a long way. But, apparently the 7-08 Imp did it not make the cut.

I'm shooting 45.5gr RL-15 with 120gr Nos BT's for forming loads and it shoots tight. Need to Chrono it this weekend, but I know It's slow. You tried the 168gr game changer by chance or no interest? Tried Varget and 4350 but couldn't get the accuracy I get with '15. Hart 1-8" on a Montana at 20".

LoL In all seriousness it’s not a to preformer with the heavys so I never got to into it. That and I didn’t have 40# of it when I started fire forms.
