Thread: Hornady ELD-X sections

I shot the gong on the weekend at 350 yards with the 300 Win Mag and 270 Win. The interesting thing was the 178 gr and 200 gr 30 cal bullets left noticeably less impact marks than the 145 gr ELD X 270 bullet, that bullet left nasty welts in the steel. I know it was a bit close but I didn't expect that from the 270. We haven't cross sectioned a 270 bullet so might do one day just to see what the jacket is like.
