Thread: Hornady ELD-X sections

Both deer dropped on the spot, I recovered one projectile. It is fully mushroomed and looks as though it’s nearly breaking up, will post a photo at some point.

As stated I don’t know the speed but wondering if higher velocities are part of the cause of the problems I’ve had in the past?

@Nick.m I put some 162 ELD-X Hornady Precision Hunter rounds through a chronograph when I first got my 7mm rem mag. They were averaging about 2950fps from the 24" tikka barrel if that helps.
