Thread: swap 162 7mm ELD-X

Its a pretty good increase,up to .670 from .625 The x is a completely new bullet also with a better bc than the old amax but not as high as the M so it beggs the question.

Im not up with the latest but I thought the "M" was the old amax with the new tip and the "x'' was a new jacket and new tip for more controlled expansion, however this is only what I had read when all the fanfare for the new release came out not any actual experience.?

The new ELDMs do have higher BCs as tested by a couple of my clients in the field, with .30 & .338.

The advertised BCs seem to work well so far.....look out Berger....terminal performance is....very messy...

Iv read that as well and many other things, they haven't all been true though so Im interested in actual measurements. It would be good if they are just a new tip in the old case but thats a big jump in BC. Iv shot a couple of boxes of the .338 285gr M, they go well at Norma mag speeds.
