This is how the 143gn ELD X went at the range. Even though they have the deformation, this is a 5 shot group at 100m.
Wondering if it would get any better if the projectiles were unmarked.
As a reminder this is what they looked like before and after seating.
Hey mate, did you do all the things I suggested back on Page 1? I had the same issue with the 143 ELD-Xs, but the issue was setting up the seating die correctly and using an steady, even force when seating - not trying to seat too quickly, as Gaz mentioned.
As to whether it will hurt accuracy, from what I've seen and read, it won't harm inherent accuracy much, but it will hurt BC and change POI over longer distances - which
will hurt accuracy if you mix up indented and non-indented rounds (if that makes sense).
I've shot some of my best groups with indented rounds, but only at shorter distances.
The laws of physics do not apply to politics.
