New Hornady bullet

[yeahkkyle]

That had to of been some bad bullets on that 260ai unless there was something up with the barrel at that time

Think it was just the bullets for that test. Kept pushing a little passed 3000fps and been good for the last 2 years.

Loaded up some alpha srp brass with cci450, varget powder charges from 39- 39.8 grains .020 off the lands to see how things go. Will shoot them tomorrow.

I used v max for coyotes years ago when they were new and the gun writers raves about them on coyotes
I lost a coyote and bobcat the same night due to bullet splash. 220 swift

How do you know/blame bullet splash, if you lose the animal, and at night? I’ve always liked the Vmax

Great question, but if you shoot enough you figure it out. Vmax at lower velocities and quartering shots is a great recipe for runners and has been known for a long time.

Vmax at high velocity splash as well. The 50gr max out of my 22-250 is one of the worst I've seen.

62 eld-vt at approximately 3200 fps impact velocity isn't fur friendly in my sample of one coyote tonight. Good accuracy though.

Where did you hit and what distance?

 

[sportsmans challenge]

Will be running some 62's next weekend at around 3600 to 3625 fps, will see how nasty they are. Maybe able to tighten that up a touch, but the e.s. was great

45-50 yards running towards me with a right to left angle. Tried yelling at it to get it to stop but it kept motoring. I was behind it a bit, first shot was a hip shot which was messy as I'd expect. Follow up was a frontal shot at base of neck/chest intersection with baseball sized entrance.

Nice. Thanks for the feedback

What are you shooting them out of? That’s pretty good speed.

22 cm 18" 1:9 twist with a can

Was just loading some more this morning to finish up load development and found a .257 cal eld in my 62 eld vt's.

 

[sportsmans challenge]

For me looks like I will stay at .015" off the lands, 3620fps Ave

This was 3 shots. Will load a bunch up and try for distance and on dogs later this week

Looks good, let us know how it goes.

Took these last night with the hornady eld vt

 

[AKG]

I shot my 2nd 62 eldvt coyote last night while calling. Range was in the 200-250 yard neighborhood which should have put the impact velocity in the 2700fps range. Face on sitting coyote frontal chest shot, splatter visible in the scope, coyote went down hard with a fist sized hole, heart lungs hanging out

What's your opinion on how the bullets performed?

 

[kodiak725]

Anyone know any place that has them in stock?

 

[sportsmans challenge]

What's your opinion on how the bullets performed?

So far I like them. I really liked the 69tmk at around 3300fps, in my creedmoor I have them going 3480 ish and they can have some fur issues at times. These eld vt's are going much faster and I feel they are on par or a touch better fur wise than the tmk.

Obviously the higher b.c. is a plus

Will be loading up more and getting them on some more dogs. Hope hornady kicks out some more soon.

I am excited to try these in the 80 grain 6mm flavor
