Reloading with Hornady ELD-X bullets

[Puddle]

Good morning @375 Ruger Fan

I reload my 6.5 CM using ELD-X 143 gn using a Forster Ultra Micrometer seating die. It leaves a very faint ring IF ANY. It does not effect reloaded concentricity not have I noticed any ill effects...I have shot sub 1 MOA up to 600 yards with these bullets.

As @Newby has suggested, wait and see how it loads up your 7 MM Rem Mag.

Regards,

ditto. From a 24" barrel I only push them to 2,700 fps. They get squirrely on me beyond that MV.

I believe if you send Lee your bullet they will make a seating stem for it specifically.

The only part they send you (after you forward an appropriate bullet to them) is the bullet seater plug. I did this a number of years ago for a spire point bullet for loading .357 Remington Maximum, as the existing plug was for conical or blunt nosed pistol bullets. Easy to email or call them to see if they still do this. I think I paid like $8 for this service.

CUSTOM BULLET SEAT PLUG

The Bullet Seater Plug that comes with the die set is as close to generic as we can make it. If you find that the bullet seater plug deforms the nose of the bullet you are trying to seat, we can make a custom bullet seater plug to fit your bullet.
