Title: Hornady Eld-x bullets?
Post by: bullcanyon on January 20, 2016, 06:18:02 AM: Anyone got their hands on the new bullets from hornady? Specs look pretty good. Can't find them anywhere. The amax shoots really good out of my gun. Thinking these will work really nice

Post by: BULLBLASTER on January 20, 2016, 07:50:46 AM: I have some of the 143 grain 6.5 coming in the mail.
Will probably be a month at least before I get to shoot them as I need optics and brass and dies still.

Where'd you guys find them?

Post by: rbros on January 21, 2016, 06:19:23 AM: I have gone through a few hundred of the 6.5's now. They have been pretty accurate and the bc's seem to be spot on out to 1k. Still waiting on the 7mm and 30 stuff. They make the straight eld in 338.

Good to hear. I was waiting to find the eld x or 142 ablr. If neither of them showed up I was going to use bergers.
Can't wait to get shooting them

Post by: CaNINE on January 21, 2016, 10:49:33 AM: I have been developing loads with the 143 grain in my 264WM and 260REM; 200 grain in my 300WSM and 212 grain in my 300RUM. Results are excellent. The 7mm and 30 cal 220 grain have not hit the market anywhere yet that I can find. Try MidWayUSA and get on the waiting list. I hope to put on of these bullets in a bear this spring.

Post by: The scout on January 21, 2016, 10:59:01 AM: I would like to see what I can get out of the 220's out of my 300 rum, if I can ever find any

Post by: bobcat on January 21, 2016, 12:14:00 PM: I sure wish they made them in .277. :dunno:

But I suppose it really doesn't matter- I've got enough Bergers and Barnes bullets to last me the rest of my life.

Post by: CaNINE on January 21, 2016, 04:27:48 PM: MidWay has the 220's and 143's in stock right now.

Post by: BULLBLASTER on January 23, 2016, 08:11:29 PM: My bullets came in the mail today.
I can't wait to start loading them and actually get shooting with them.
Still need optics tho.
