Thread: Hornady 6.5 eld-m 147gr

Hi,
I just got some of these this week thanks to black watch reloading.

From right to left: 120gr a-max, Berger 130gr hunting, eld-m 147gr.

I am quite impressed with the bc of .697
It says on the box that they would stabilise in a 1 in 8.5" twist but I have my doubt with such a long bullet.
I will load a few in my creedmoor and see how they shoot. They have a very long parallel bearing surface.
The final plan is to use them into a fast magnum at long range, and try to beat the wind:-)
I also got hold of some eld-m 130. Almost the same bc as Berger 130. It would be great if they could shoot as well in my barrel, as the Berger are becoming expensive to shoot at the moment.

I ll keep you posted.
