Thread: Hornady ELD-X sections

Yep nice work @Flyblown you can certainly see the thickness off the jackets especially in the heavy weights. I think the interlock rings aren't there looking at those cross sections and it will be interesting to hear Hornadys response. Me , I still like them and until I have bad fails I will keep using them. I am loading a batch of 7 mm/08 rounds for a friend using the 150 gr ELD X at about 2700 fps. He swears buy them and has shot a number of animals over the last 10 -12 months and hasn't lost one, most are dead on the spot or after a couple of steps. As Flyblown has said bullet placement is key. My mate I load for said one animal required tracking and when found it was hit in the neck, through the meat no bone connected, but it was an easy tracking job with plenty of blood to follow. Of all the ELD X bullets we have cross section the 150 gr 7 mm has faint signs of an inter lock ring.
