Now that Hornady is shipping some of these-anyone been out shooting them yet? I have some 178's for my 300 Ultra and some 143's for my 6.5 X 284, but haven't been out yet.

I have been shooting the 140 gr in my 6.5 creedmoor. I haven't seen anything better then I was getting with a-max so far.

I've got 3 boxes of the 143gr ELD-X bullets arriving this week. These will be for use in my 6.5mm SAUM which is about a week away from being finished (finally).

I'm taking some 200 gr ELD-X in my 300 Winchester Mag to Namibia in a few weeks.

So far on Paper they are just fine, but want to see how they perform on game.

Terry, I will be VERY interested in your results in Africa. I recently acquired a Ruger #1 in .300 H&H, and I'm planning to use ELD-X bullets for long-range shooting. I have seen good groups with Sierra 200 gr Gamekings, so I'm hoping the Hornady's will do as well with a better BC for long-range. Now to find out about performance.

I'm getting about 2950 fps with the Sierras out of the .300 H&H. What are your Hornadys doing in the .300 Win?

any updates here ?

I use 285 ELDs in my two .338 Lapuas and my Edge. Love them. Yesterday I shot my Savage Lapua at 800 and 1190 yards. Awesome, to say the least.

any load data on the 338Lapua would be appreciated, thanks

My Savage loves ELDs on top of 88 grains of Retumbo. Velocity is 2770 fps. I anneal every time (Nosler brass) and trim to spec. OAL is 3.780."

Stiller custom: 96 gr RL33 (the OAL is immaterial since it is a custom rifle). Velocity is 2785.

Both use FED 215 primers.
