[QUOTE="SHRTSHTR, post: 1211026, member: 12514"] [b]Re: New 6.5 Sherman build[/b] I have a lot of 500 6.5 ELD X's and I measured the OD with a indicator mic. The OD' measured .2642 to .2643. They are holding a very close tolerance on their bullets but they are bigger on the OD than a Berger or other brands. I spoke with a ballistician at Hornady and they claim it is not a mistake. They did it intentionally! They claimed that was part of there design. Like any other bullet, loads should be worked up accordingly. From what I hear people are getting excellent results but it seems to me that people want to compare to Bergers. That's cool but bottom line do they shoot? Will they perform better than any open tip bullet? That is the question! Time will tell is all I am saying. A whole lot of folks build their reamers for the Bergers. If the ELD's prove themselves, folks will build accordingly. Ray [/QUOTE]
