So I was at the store earlier today and saw they had the new 7mm ELD-M 180 gr in stock. Cost was the same as the 162 ELD-M at $34.99 per 100. Looking at the BC numbers I couldn't help it and bought a box just to see how they would shoot or if my rifle will even stabilize them. At this point I'm not too optimistic as the twist rate recommended is 1-8. I have a 1-9. I'm going to give them a try anyway just for kicks. I'll be shooting these out of my Savage 284 Win with 26" barrel. It's a long action so COL is not an issue. I'll be working with H4831. I think I still have a little RL17 somewhere I might try.

Anyone used these yet that can provide some feedback? How fast do they have to be pushed to take advantage of the BC?

Advertised BC on the box:

G1 = .796
G7 = .401
