Thread: ELD-X 6.5

Look what the courier dropped off this morning, just in time for those sika stags

Stirrer They'll be outa stock before I get mine with the amount pre-ordered!

Thought you were were my mates??? I checked my letter box this morning and nope, nothing.

Move along NOTHING TO SEE HERE FOLKS - just the normal amaxs... These are not the droids you are looking for!

What was the cost per box of 100??????

These are different a-maxs says so on the box�� and the tip is a different colour - too scary to look at the cc slip

My gut tells me it has a lot to do with marketing.
If they are heaps dearer than the Amax then they have achieved what they intended.

Ya gotta ask who released the info of the tips melting.
Who will profit from improving something that works as well as anyone will be able to shoot at LR.
The Amax works even if the tip does melt😆

But in saying that I have ordered some to try.

Yup

Identical construction to Amax probably but now they can market them for hunting

What do they cost.

US$36.99 for 100 Hornady ELD-X Bullets 264 Cal 6.5mm (264 Diameter) 143 Grain Boat Tail

Yeah similar to Amax, a bit more. What do they cost here

What do they cost.

apparently not, totally different jacket with thicker copper in the bearing surface and base with an interloc ring to help it hold together up close.

Had to change the seating depth from old a-max, further out by .05, shot in the same point of aim.
Five round group old a-max chronographed at 3022fps SD 16 / ELD-X 5 round 3077fps SD 14 both groups very similar round 18mm
Quite surprised at the velocity increase with the same powder charge 50fps
