NEWHORNADY BULLETS!!!

Has anyone see this new ad from Hornady???

Hornady Manufacturing Company :: New Products :: Bullets :: ELD® Match

Mac

Not only seen the ad but have used the bullets. They seem to do what the ad says and I am happy that their advertised BC is very close to the mark. Started with the match and have now bought some x to try one game

Yeah its been around since before we could get the bullets, all a load of marketing shit i reckon, and an excuse to raise their prices to those of their competitors.

I was shooting the old Amax the other day at 1100 and 1300 yards, and the ballistic solution was perfect for elavation using the G7 BC, or maybe a muzzle velocity of 3k isnt fast enough to get them melting?

I've used quite a few boxes of both. I don't know for sure if the inconsistent results I had at 1000m was just me or my new guy reloads. But my new barrel and the new ELDM's do the trick right out further so they aren't worse at least. I've measured a few and they seem to be mostly identical as my gear can tell. The only way I'll go back to bobs bergers is if they drop the price to match.

147gr 6.5mm bullet... should be good

The BCs on the new heavier ELDM offerings seem pretty optimistic....

New 260 load slower than 6.5 creedmoor while using the same projectile

Has anyone used the 140gr Match ELD loaded exactly the same as the 140gr Amax loads?

Did it shoot much the same?

I don't know if the powder charge is the same but my over all length is and it work fine for me.

I still have plenty of the 140 Amaxes :)

The m's are 83ft/s faster using the same load.

Cant be they used a Doppler :thumbsup:

Anyone got their hands on these yet?

I would be interested to see how the 147gr runs in a short barrel 6.5x284, the BC looks impressive.

Although several Clients have said they are spot on/very close, so I stand corrected :thumbsup:

I would like to try the 225gr in my 300H&H, wonder how fast, I can push them, 2750 ish, at a guess, and perhaps the .264 win mag with 147gr,

Are you using a 1 in 10 twist?

as 1 in 9 is possibly needed for the 225 grainer
