Hornady bullet wish list

[Grizzle]

I can't be the only one wishing for some more bullet weights in the eldm and x lines. After seeing the new bullets in .25 cal it seems like they are listening, I'm going to throw in my request for a 115- 120 gr 6mm eldm. Maybe if enough guys join in the call it will get some traction. Feel free to add any other requests maybe together we can get enough push to move the needle. Or maybe I'm an idiot but the kids are sick and I'm stuck inside.

110 eldx in 6mm?
85+ eldx .224?

How about a .277 eldm bullet.

How about a .277 eldm bullet.

I didn't realize that wasn't already an option. Great suggestion

They have their bases covered.

Now they just need to figure out how to make them as consistent as a berger

I want a lighter, longer 35 cal. More like the recent eld-vt except for white tail in 35 cal.

Eld-vt factory in 22 creedmoor and 6.5prc.

I was thinking of a 225-230gr ELDX for my Whelen. Half joking, half serious!

A 120 eldm would change everything for me.

77 grain eldx in 223?

 

[waspocrew]

I'd be on board for a heavier 6mm projectile in the ELDM line - those things just seem to kill very well.

If they added a slight retaining ring in the jacket of the 73 ELD-M it would work.

The thing is I don’t think we need heavier than 200. Just longer for more effective range and no increase in recoil. The 225 AB gets to just over .4 G1. Would be great to get a 200g that could hit a .45 or better a .5.

I think an eldm style would easily push a 230-235g to over .5 G1. My concern is that’s more recoil and less velocity Vs the 160-200g offerings. If tiny 108’s in 6mm are working on elk, why should we use something that’s over twice the weight.

Someone make a partition style bullet that has a great BC. That's really all I want in life.
