I’m looking for some guidance on a load for the 180grain eldm. I have tried the hybrid 100v at 60.0 grains but was not to happy with the extreme spread just looking for some help with other powders or starting points. Gun is a Remington 700 26” barrel 1-8 twist 3.290 coal
 
The Hodgden's website lists the following below. Did you work your way up in incremental grains and check your nodes? I use H1000 and have good results. I have not tried Hybrid 100V.
