[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 3056754, member: 115819"] In my SA Saum the 180 eldm has been a treat. No blowups even in desert summer heat. Using a 5r barrel, I figure that helps. They are extremely delicate though, don’t be surprised if your barrel shreds them. It was easy to tune, unfussy about jump, nice to work with. Accurate enough for hunting steel but definitely not f class. They aren’t exactly inaccurate, but raw accuracy is noticeably less than hammer bullets for example. (Which are a ton of fun but not what you want for a grand.) The 168 accubond long range was more fussy but had slightly higher peak accuracy, and even with the lower BC the 168 was peak ballistics because I couldn’t drive the 180 very fast. 2660 fps vs 2875. But I’m also 2.95”, mag length. My gun hated the 175 eldx, abandoned it almost immediately. That’s all I know! Have fun, I might get out with mine tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
