Load data 212gr eld-x 300 win mag question

[Klint Beastwood]

I'm not buying Hornady's 10th edition for one load that I might not even stick with, so I was wondering if anyone had any load data or suggestions for 212gr ELD-X in .300 win mag.

Scroll down to the 210 loads, they'll work just fine. Good luck to you!

I have not looked at my Lyman 49 or 50, but I did have the following:

ELD-XM, 212gr, 300 Win Mag, Reloader22 - 72.5gr, 2850fps, >1" @ 100yds
IMR-4350 - 62.3gr, 2700fps
IMR-4350 - 59.2gr, 2600fps

This data came from multiple sources, If you use it, I would suggest working your way up. If my memory serves, the 62.3gr IMR-4350 actually shot 2711, with 24fps Std Dev.

Good Luck, Be Safe, Have Fun

Thank you Orcon and thank you everyone for the post.

Sure thing! It's been my experience that those bullets perform best at or near max loads. I don't know why but it has held true with 3 different rifles. Good luck.

Hi guys. Sorry about bumping this old post. I'm in the same boat as the original poster. Needing load data for the 212 ELD-X in 300 win mag. They used to have the load data posted online until they came out with the 10th edition. Already own the 9th edition. Can't see myself buying the newest just to get this one load. Thanks for anyone that can help!

There are many online sources for load data. The data for 208, 210, or 215 gr bullets is close enough to give you starting loads, then work up.
