Finally tried loading some ELDXs

I've been loading Hornady and Nosler HPBTs for my RPR .308 for several years and have had good results. This weekend I loaded my first batch of 168gr ELDX projectiles. I tried several powders, and charge weights and fired them in 5-shot groups at 100 yards. Looks like I found a winner:

Just curious what projectiles you guys find to be the most accurate/consistent.

That definitely looks like a winner at close to 1/4” CTC.

Thanks! For some reason my ELDXs seem to be more sensitive to powder choice than my HPBTs. A couple of the powders I tried were literally 2 MOA under the exact same conditions. I don't recall the HPBTs varying that much from one powder to another.
