[QUOTE="Deleted member 25294, post: 1293184"] I've been testing the new Hornady 180 ELD match bullets in my 28 Nosler, and thought I'd start a new post for everyone to share actual performance from these bullets (Any ELD-M really). I'm using 80.0 grains of Retumbo to drive the 180's at 3100 FPS, accuracy is great I'm shooting .5 MOA from a bipod laying in the snow. I did some snowshoeing today looking for a place to shoot at distance. I finally found a large rock at 500 yards with a softball sized patch of moss growing on it's face. Using the advertised BC of .796 I dialed in the elevation and drilled the moss clump dead center! I shot another round to verify the BC and blew the moss to bits. I'm impressed it looks like the BC is gonna hold.. As soon as I get the chance I'll try some longer ranges, I'd also like to test expansion and penetration. If anyone has been doing this already please share! I got the 180 ELD-M's from Midway, they are marketing them as a generic factory second, and this proves they are the real deal. They are still in stock for $17.50 a box FYI. [/QUOTE]
