Hornady ELD-X bullets

[mikek207]

Has anyone got any experience with the new Hornady ELD-X bullets?

I’m wondering how .22 80grain would cope with the high speeds of a .22 creedmoor for foxes.

I expect that depending on how fast you are going to push them.
Vihtavuori have some date on the loads/velocities

I use them in 25-06 factory loaded into their precision cartridge. They’re very accurate and expand predictably and efficiently, not too little, and not too much on deer. Pushed fast on foxes they might possibly be a wee bit stout

I use them in my 308. Switched from the SST’s to ELDX as they were more stable at longer distances. Both great.

How do you find them for meat damage under 200 yards? Was thinking of trying the factory stuff.

No real issues be honest.

The 75 ELD-M and 80 ELD-X are fantastic in 22CM. Also consider the 62 ELD-VT's

The ELD M 75 are also great in 223 (1 in 8 or better)
