Factory ammo. Hornady ELD X. HORRIBLE accuracy.

[Mr Drysdale]

We are shooting under .5 MOA with them in our 6.5 PRC. My guess is you have something else going on but some guns don't like some ammo for a variety of reasons.

Same in my Christensen Ridgeline 6.5 PRC.

Have you seen variance this extreme?

Really wonder if the velocity’s are that much different from round to round or what

Federal 200 grain group with a screaming hot barrel

This group only looks like slightly less ass than the pic of the Hornady. Neither are great, just saying. Damn good chance there's something else going on. I've had plenty of guns not like Hornady ammo and I've gotten bad lots of Hornady ammo, but none have grouped worse than 1.5MOA in anything. That's well beyond a rifle just not liking the load.

I have 5 barrels that love them 1.0-.1.4 20 shot groups depending on the gun.
300 prc - 225 eldm
300 wsm - 200 eldx
6.5 prc - 147 eldm
6.5 creed - 143 eldx
6mm creed - 108 eldm

my 270 slower twist perfers the 130 sst vs the 145 eldx by 0.2moa
same with my grendel 123 sst vs 123 eldm by 0.1 moa so probably statistically irrelevant.

I have two 6.5x55s.
My Tikka 1:8 can't get enough of the 140 ELDm, factory or reload. Hell, my worst load during testing was 1-1/2"

My Winchester 1:8 wouldn't do better than 3" with them.

Some things like things.
Some things don't like things.
