Reply With Quotebump up to about 42 gr. H4350 but do it in .2 grain or .5 grain increments... I'm running 43 gr. H4350 in Lapua brass shooting the same 143 ELD-X in my .260 rem... My seating depth is .004 off now, but started at .04 and just kept moving it closer.
Still working on load development for 6.5 Creedmoor. This one, Savage Axis 40.0 Grains of H4350 W/ Hornaday 143 grain ELDX bullets. Shot at 10:30 in 7 ring was fouling shot after a bore-snake barrel clean.

Bad bob, is that a heavy barrel or a sporter? At what distance was that group shot?
It is a plain vanilla Axis XP with standard trigger modified with recoil spring replaced to give 2# pull. Distance was 100 yards. FWIW, last 3 shots were all in 9 ring with 2 touching.
Should find a node right around the 41.3-41.7. for me my accuracy nodes are 41.5 for 140 ELD and 41.7 for 147 ELD
for seating depth try around .020-.030 OTL
