[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 1160854, member: 2460"] The ELD-X bullets have the newer version of the inter-lock tech but not the ELD-M bullets, they have the same Amp bullet jackets and profile found in the AMAX bullets with the new hottie tip added ... It would have made a lot more long range sense if they made a heavier 7mm ELD-M bullet, at least 180 gr. and better yet 190 gr would have been optimum for real long range use, the 162 gr bullet kind of fits nowhere .... same with 30 cal, 220 -230 gr would have been awesome ! of course I'm speaking for myself and my rifles .... Who knows ? Maybe Hornady will stick that hottie tip on their 225 gr BTHP Match bullet and call it good, I'd buy a bunch ! Looks like Hornady dropped these from their website .......AMAX bullets in 6.5mm 140 gr, .308 208 gr and the .338 in 285 gr, the 7mm 162 gr AMAX is still there but probably will get pulled as soon as the ELD-M hits the streets ....
