Those eldms have been the topic of discussion a few times and that’s my exact experience with them. The vast majority shoot well and one drops out a 1/2 to 3/4 of a minute low for no real reason.
Converting your group to 300 yards would be 2.820” I believe . Good shooting and suks that one lone low flyer. Repeat with different projectile as mentioned. Out of curiosity,do you sort bullets by weight?

I can't drive the ELD's as hard as I want, only about 2700 fps, then the groups go to ####, so I'm going to give the Sierra's a go.
As for sorting bullets, no, not yet anyway, if I was going to shoot a match I probably would.

May I please submit another entry to this challenge? I completed an attempt earlier today at the Crown Land Institute for Target Shooters (CLITS):
My rifle is a Tikka CTR with a 20" 308 Win barrel shooting Hornady 178 grain BTHP Match bullets over Varget at a modest 2500 fps. The scope is a Burris XTR III 3.3-18x50 in a Spuhr mount. My target was stapled to a cardboard box on a 20 L bucket setup at a distance of 302 m (~330 yds) and it was T-shirt weather with almost no wind. This was my result:
I was experimenting with a few different targets and this diamond with high-contrast corners seems to be my preference for holding a consistent POA - better than a circle or a smaller diamond that's hard to resolve. I measured the group with callipers at 2.38" but this app suggests a slightly smaller albeit similar extreme spread of 2.33". Either way it's a satisfactory result and I'm gonna try to improve on it in the future!
