[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1365226, member: 22069"] Hornady has released two new .338 ELD-X bullets in 270 grain and 230 grain weights, respectively. Hornady lists the 270 ELD-X as having a .757 G1 (.381 G7) bc and the 230 ELD-X as having a .616 G1 (.310 G7) bc. I view .338 bullets above the 250 grain class as being best suited to larger cases, so I won't be testing the 270. The 230 ELD-X, however, looks like it could have serious long range potential. I have a box of these on order and intend to test them as soon as I possibly can (which, alas, will probably be after the first of the year). I am hoping this bullet will have a shorter bearing surface than the 225 SST, allowing it to be pushed faster before pressuring out. If it can be pushed fast enough, it may well rival the long range potential of the Berger 250 EH... [/QUOTE]
