Back when anything bonded was unobtainium (at least for me) I worked up a load for the 143 gr. ELD-X using 41.7 gr. H4350.

Afterwards, the first bonded bullet I got my hands on was the 143 gr. BondStrike, which I simply backed off the existing load just a tad and eventually discovered it liked the same 41.7 gr H4350 charge but seated just a little farther out.

Happy Camper.


It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.

Hello John, I am aware that the LRX opens a bit easier.
I will say I have never noticed any small exits with either cartridge while using the LRX. I might also say my observation doesnt have any sort statistical validity, but its my observation none the less.
This year we both shot mature muley bucks. And the entrance and exit hole diameters where nearly identical with golf ball size exits for both.
Overall I am.happy with the LRX. It's the best mono I have used before...but they don't kill like a 180 BT!
