Got out today and shot the ELD-X and Police TAP loads at 100 yards through my 18” and 12” guns. I did 2 five shot groups with each rifle/ammo combination.

The 12 inch gun is a Monster barrel with a Trijicon 1-8 on it. The reticle is not really conducive to precision work but gets the job done. This gun had about 20 rounds through it at the start of the session.

The 18 inch gun is an Odin Works barrel with a NightForce 2.5-20 on it. It had 95 rounds down the barrel at the start of the session.

ELD-X
12” Monster Barrel- 2 five shot groups
1- 2343 fps 1.34moa
2- 2344 fps. 2.52moa

18” Odin Works Barrel- 2 five shot groups
1- 2650 fps .88moa
2- 2644 fps. .53moa

Police TAP
12” Monster Barrel- 2 five shot groups
1- 2347 fps wtf, I forgot to measure this but it was about like the second one
2- 2335 fps 2.5moa

18” Odin Works Barrel- 2 five shot groups
1- 2608 fps. 1.42moa
2- Chrono error 1.75moa

The TAP was not stellar, but then typical police ‘duty’ rifle ammo tends to focus on terminal ballistics and not super precision. Still, 1.56moa out of a police duty round will still get the job done at any reasonable police engagement distance. Last I knew, the average police sniper shot is about 75 yards.

The ELD-X loads look very nice out of my 18” gun, grouping on par with the ELD-M loads. I think I might have to try and arrange a trip out west to hunt antelope!
