Thread: 178gr HORNADY ELDX

Interesting, about the Ms might revisit them with a sampler pack.
Way back (80s) I used to use speer hot core 150s exclusively in a M77 rifle and had good results (C North Island, Bush). Started hunting again,( South Island, open country)
Got all wrapped up in the latest and greatest projectiles, anyway shot a large hind slightly quartering in the usual spot. Distant was 180 yards, using a Berger VLD 168 hunting.
Was not impressed, she reared up and belted down hill and went about 80 yards, which is not bad but with no blood trail and thick matagouri, took ages, with no dog to find her, so a blood trail is important to me.
Hence the stouter ELD-X idea, also I like the high BC, accuracy, giving me more range, for South Island shooting.
Trying for the impossible, one rifle, one caliber, one load.
