Hornady Boredriver ELD-X

[elkivory]

I know this probably belongs in the muzzleloader forum, but I put it here in hopes somebody with Hornady or influence with Hornady would see it. This bullet was announced back in October 2022, and still is unavailable on the market. People are gearing up for Muzzleloader Elk hunts now and it would be great if this bullet was out there as an option. My son and I both have muzzleloader tags in Colorado and would love to try this bullet. Hornady produced a great video pimping this bullet, but you still cannot buy it. Come on Hornady!!!

I didn't like the ELD-X as a rifle bullet. Lots of good options in ML bullets for CO.

I have researched bullet options for Colorado for the last couple of months and if I don't get to try the boredriver eld-x , I will use the Federal Borloc 350 grains. I have just over 2 packages of them I bought before they became hard to get. I have plenty of BH 209 and magnum primers, but would still like to try the new bullet. I normally hunt either rifle or archery, but have hunted muzzleloader a couple of times. Never killed anything with muzzleloader, but an opportunity came up to hunt private land with alfalfa fields. Pretty sure shots could be longer and this bullet looks like it would be good at longer range.

About every store I have been in the last year or so in AZ has them on the shelf. Not really a hot commodity here. I have bought a few just in case I drew a CO muzzy hunt

You must be talking about the bore driver ftx. There are plenty to be found. I'm wanting bore driver eld-x. Very different bullet

theres a thread here with a little info

Hornady 340gr .50cal ELD-X Bore Driver

https://www.hornady.com/muzzleloading/browse/50-cal-.499-340-gr-bore-driver-eld-x#!/ Anybody played with these? How do they perform? We would like to try them out on a bull elk in Colorado this year. I am not even sure if they have shipped any of these to dealers yet.

@elkivory you are correct! I have the ftx here, not eld-x
