Yep soon !
Waiting to see if replacement for LRABS, apparently better terminal performance and accuracy (although my LRABs are sub 0.5 MOA).
Apparently end of the month according to 3 places I've emailed.
Any prices yet?
Everything techo I have read on them seems good.
The retention of velocity over the Amax at LR is interesting.
I wonder if ballistic software has to be re written around these projectiles.

...and unlike LRABS realistic BCs listed: 6.5mm 143gn Ballistic Coefficient (G1) .625...although interestingly the 162gn Amax in 7mm is higher (.625) than the new 162gn equivalent (.613BC).
Good article....promising.
American Rifleman | Tested: Hornady ELD-X Bullet
These are looking like a great step up to whats allready on the market. Hopefully they perform as well on game as paper.
Mmmm 7mm 175 grain :yaeh am not durnk:
Might have to get the 30 cal 220gn and try in the 300BLK. Wonder how soft that nose and petals are at subsonic speeds?
100 dollars says they wont expand significantly if at all on fleshy targets or a fair subsitute.Quote:

Key words right there :thumbsup:Quote:

So what happened with these? After some 7mm and haven't seen them anywhere.
Workplace has them in 30 cal and 6.5 ,tried the 200gn 30cal and they group really well . They seem to be running out as my local sport shop says they are out of stock from the supplyer so might have to wait for the next shipment . Want to try the 220gns next time as none seem to have come in on the first shipment as for 7 mm I have not seen any for sale and workplace doesn't have them on there list so suspect none came in ,may be wrong though.
load d getting done with 175 7mm this weekend, 300 for me to play with on animals.they should be all good, if they shoot like amax's
Awesome, I really want some but 7mm seem to be impossible to get?
Pongo where did you get yours?
Action outdoors in Napier have plenty in stockQuote:

the guy who's doing load d for me sourced them ill ask him
The .338 285gr shoot very similar to the the Berger 300 EH in terms of balistics. Same charge same speed very close drops to 800 ish yds . They are a little longer in bearing surface but a couple of points of a thou narrower. The 175gr 7mm are .025 longer than a 180gr berger hybrid. I havnt got a barrel fast enough to swing them so no info there.

Reloaders had heaps of 7mm ELD-Match. Happy days!
