    Hornady Eldm 225gr from a .308

    HSM makes a hunting load with a 210 vld @ 2500 fps. If you found hand loaf with the match vld you will beat the federal gold 185 berger @ 2600. The 210 at that speed is supersonic to about 1285yd @ 29.93 Hg

    XLR Element Handguard

    I plan on getting an arca mount from Henderson, and I think Sawtooth also makes them, but the reason I am asking is to make my own magneto speed attachment. I'll contact XLR.
