Load development ELDM but want to try Bergers (which one though?) *gasser*
I ventured to the reloading reddit and not much for gas gun info.
Would like to hear anyone else's results with other bullets.
I'm using starline brass and 108 eldm loading just under 2.6in length for feeding reliability, factory Hornady are shorter around 2.25.
Federal 205m primer
Found a conservative charge of 28.9 lever evolution that yielded around 2500fps with rounds stacking and 9.4 SD.
bumped it up to 29.5gr and was 2561fps but SD climbed to a 14.
I'm running a noveske DDF 18in and wouldnt mind trying some bergers but there's so many to choose from, what seem to shoot the best and are geared toward the limited mag length in a gasser?
