Thread: 7mm sectioned projectiles

More interesting sections thanks @JMJW.

I stopped using the 178gr ELD-X in favour of the 165gr Speer BTSP, both shown above. My Tikka didn’t like the ELD-X so much, had a bit of difficulty getting them to behave to my liking with 2206H and 2208. Shot several smaller meat reds and large goats with them, found them to be a wee bit too much bullet for the size of animal. Blew some massive exit holes in yearling deer with that bullet. The ELD-X works best for me in 6.5mm. If I was chasing big red stags or sambar, that’s what I’d want the .30 cal ELD-X for.

The Speer on the other hand is a genuine half MOA bullet in the Tikka, and a stone cold killer at all practical ranges, without so much damage. The high BC claimed by Speer seems ok as well, I’ve used them out past 400m and at that range they’re going pretty slow out of my 18” barrel, but they hit bang on. Every bit as good if not better than the 165gr GameKing for me.
