Reloads for Hornady ELD-X 6.5mm, 143 grain
@ 12:46 am (GMT) |
John SmithJust got a box of Hornady ELD-X 6.5mm, 143 grain. None of myold reloading books list loads for this new bullet. Have any of you reloaders come up with load for this bullet? I would like to use one the these powders: Varget, IMR 4350, IMR 4064, or RL- 22. I'll be using this round in my Swedish Mauser Model 94 and Ruger No. 1A for whitetail and mule deer. |

Chris MurphyRe: Reloads for Hornady ELD-X 6.5mm, 143 grainJust use data for the 140s and work up a load |

Nathan FosterRe: Reloads for Hornady ELD-X 6.5mm, 143 grainJust been going through this myself. There were no major pressure differences between the A-MAX and ELD-X regardless of slight differences in the jacket thickness and weights. So to this end, you can back off just a wee bit and work back up to your previous 140gr sweet spot.Use IMR 4350. I am not going to list my max test loads as they are a good amount above book max for the sake of fast clean killing. There should be data and safety caveats in my books for this. |
