Who’s used the 75 ELD-M on game?

[NoDakhunter]

I’ve got a 22arc coming together, and I’ve got a box of these 75 eld ms to try. I’m thinking velocity might end up near 3100 ft/s out of the 20” barrel I’ve got - will these be at risk of blowing up due to high rpm’s with a 7 twist?

That’ll put you at 318k rpm if I remember hornadys formula correctly. There’s only one way to find out . I think you’ll be alright but I’ll let someone else chime in who has spun them that fast answer.

1:7" is SAAMI spec. The 75 in their factory load appears to work.

V-Match is pushing ELD-VTs (which I would expect have thinner jackets) at 3,300 FPS.

I'm at around 3050 fps with factory ammo in a 22" 7 twist factory Ruger American Predator with no issue on paper or game.

So I’ve been looking at Hornady load data for the 22arc… out of a 20” barrel assuming 3100+ MV for the 75 vs 2800ish for the 88, it seems like the 75 outperforms it? Am I seeing this correctly? Seems like 300 fps is a big discrepancy for 13 grains added bullet weight

Using factory Hornady factory ammo, the 75, 80, and 88 ammo are all almost the same distance to 1800 FPS. You need to look at it as how much larger the 88 grain is when comparing it to the 75 grain. 88 ÷ 75 = 1.17333... so the 88 grain bullet is 17 1/3% larger than the 75 grain bullet. This is similar to comparing the 120/140 grain 6.5mm bullets or the 150/180 grain 308 bullets. 300 FPS is a pretty fair velocity differential for 17 to 18 percent bullet weight difference.

I shot the Hornady Black factory ammo (75gr eld-m) out of my 22 ARC gas gun all winter for coyotes. After seeing how devastating it was on coyotes, I would not hesitate to shoot a deer or antelope with it.

They work on whitetail. For sure.
