I’d question other things before that ammo. Went from 2” groups to .5” when I switched to that same ammo.

I have "heard" from some reloaders that the ELDX can be harder to get to shoot than ELDM. I know the ELDM is easy to tune but have never tried the ELDX.
I was wrong...on anything technical. Fitz............. is right, ya know............

Factory ELD-M was nearly one hole. I need to work up a reload with the ELD-X

My ELDX shoots great. I am disappointed on exit wounds on animals within 100 yards. It seems within 100 yards it pokes a hole. No large exit, no carnage on the inside. I have a feeder at 125 yards and I have had a completely different experience. This has been on both pigs and deer. Multiple animals of both types shot at both locations.

I think it's seating depth more than anything. I also had the exact same results in my full-custom 7mm-08.
Haha yea I polished that thing for hours.

He vehemently HATES all things Hornady but instantly goes down on his knees at the mention of anything Creedmoor, it’s hard to watch

I like Hornady about as much as the gaymoor.
Poker, that’s penciling and I’ve seen it more than once and had it happen on a yote at 117y. Supposedly over 200y they are very predictable, it’s inside that the issue pops up on occasion.

I’m having some issues with creedmoor 143 eld-x inside of 100 yards
Can someone explain why an eld-x wouldn’t perform at higher velocities but past 150 yards it will at lower velocity ???
