    I was meaning the factory Hornady 145 ELDX are quite slow, however very accurate in Tikkas. I'm sure the federal factory still kills very satisfactory for them in shorter barrels and can pump their sponsor.
    The hotter handloads 145's with Super P are a noticeable step up in my observations. Great goat load, 350-400m is easier and they don't go far, well not under their own steam as roll down the hill.
    Found rather destructive on the fallow and went back to 22.250 on them, less messy processing.
