Thread: anyone tried new hornady ELD X projectiles?

Might have to get the 30 cal 220gn and try in the 300BLK. Wonder how soft that nose and petals are at subsonic speeds?

100 dollars says they wont expand significantly if at all on fleshy targets or a fair subsitute.

The LRABs were within 1-8% of claimed BC when properly stabilised, the best being the 129 6.5 version. There are worse examples

Emailed Reloaders and Workshop inovations today and both said not expecting delivery untill next month, possible not till March

So what happened with these? After some 7mm and haven't seen them anywhere.

Workplace has them in 30 cal and 6.5 ,tried the 200gn 30cal and they group really well . They seem to be running out as my local sport shop says they are out of stock from the supplyer so might have to wait for the next shipment . Want to try the 220gns next time as none seem to have come in on the first shipment as for 7 mm I have not seen any for sale and workplace doesn't have them on there list so suspect none came in ,may be wrong though.

load d getting done with 175 7mm this weekend, 300 for me to play with on animals.they should be all good, if they shoot like amax's

160 g Sierra TMK

Awesome, I really want some but 7mm seem to be impossible to get?
Pongo where did you get yours?

I was told next shipment due July supplier is out of 6.5 although I just got some from Workshop Innovations.

the guy who's doing load d for me sourced them ill ask him

The .338 285gr shoot very similar to the the Berger 300 EH in terms of balistics. Same charge same speed very close drops to 800 ish yds . They are a little longer in bearing surface but a couple of points of a thou narrower. The 175gr 7mm are .025 longer than a 180gr berger hybrid. I havnt got a barrel fast enough to swing them so no info there.
