178 gr ELDs in .308 Winchester

It's a great powder. I'm so weird that I think it's a pretty powder too.

With 42.3gr I got an average of 2620 fps from my 20" barreled Remington. 42.8gr started to get a little hot so I stopped the testing there. Accuracy is still disappointing with a 5 shot group at 1.25".

The load data I have has 42.8gr from a 24" barrel clocking in at 2631.

N140 seemed to have slightly better accuracy, but I didn't load enough to get the velocity.

As a side note, I shot some 155 gr TMK from my 16" LMT and it was at 2,730 and the 168s were at 2,605

Yeah. I think these bullets are going to be relegated to Pappabear's LMT gas gun. MOAish accuracy isn't too bad for punching steel out of that beast.
