[spyder59]

Would anyone know what propellant and how much Hornady uses in theur 140 ELD match 6.5 CM ammo? Also, the seating depth?

I think at one time it was 43 grains of rl 23, not sure if they changed.

I believe they switched to a proprietary powder after switching to the ELDM. When they loaded with the AMAX bullet, it was H4350. They used to print the recipe on the box along with COAL

Here's what I use as a reference load in my Tikka T3x TAC A1 with StaBall and Berger 140's ... YMMV. (Seating depth is measured with the Accuracy-1 seating depth gauge ... so if you don't have that, it won't be useful to you.
