245 EOL vs 245 LRHT

[Titanmoose]

Anyone with first hand experience with both and besides the small noted BC difference , anyone care to share some insight on how these 2 and the any true differences one would see on an animal or outside of some PRS stuff.

Now that this is over a year old, hopefully I can help. The LRHT variant has a pointed tip. The EOL, with the more open tip, will promote opening and fragmentation. I just used the 170 eol on elk out of my 6.8 Western, it did great! I have no complaints.

On the 245 no, but my wife killed her pronghorn last year with the144LRHT in a 6.5x47 Lapua at a modest 2750fps MV at 320 yards and it was pretty devastating. One thing some people don’t realize is that the nose of the Berger typically caves in on itself and then rapidly comes apart rather than expand and mushroom/fragment like a traditional hollow point does.

Great report and very interested to see the terminal performance. Genuine question, not trolling in any way - why the lrht over the EOL Elite Hunter?

I have a load developed with the 245 EOL bullet in my 300 Norma. I am getting 2820fps from a 26" barrel using AR2225 powder (Retumbo in the US). I am in Aus and we cant get the Vit high Energy powders over here

The bc on the 245 lrht is substantially higher than the eol. The lrht is a .846 and the EOL is .807. Based on results from a bunch of customers and myself the 245 lrht is devastating on game.
