39.5 gr H4350 behind the 143 ELD-X is a good place to start, but you're likely going to find better nodes up between 41-43 gr in terms of velocity, SD, and ES.

I run 41.8 gr H4350 under 143 ELD-X using Hornady brass that I anneal after each firing, using a CCI 200 primer. Under half-MOA out past 800 yards...

Already tried those areas on the load scale and it just wouldn't shoot
39.5 was the sweet spot
