[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1226924, member: 42308"] Yep. The price is attractive, and they are a 'local' business for me, but Hornady could surely use a higher level of QC. Especially since these projectiles are intended to be utilized for extended range hunting applications. These ELDX bullets open well and even at 264 win mag velocities retain a good percentage of mass. I grew weary of re-pointing closed and simply ragged tips and finding what I think was tumbling media (?) stuck inside of the Berger 140 VLD. I think a fella can expect a little better than that when he's shelling out nearly $50 per hundred at the local box store QC seems to be a lost art in the manufacturing industry today. I would gladly pay $50 per 100 for lead core hunting bullet, plastic tipped or not, that could hold tolerances as closely as Lapua does with their 136g Scenar L. Sorry if this appears to hijack the OP's question, H-1000 works ok with 140g class projectiles, I'd probably look at RETUMBO or Norma 217 myself. Enjoy that 264 win mag, it's an often forgotten hot rod that will serve you well. I'll put my soapbox away again now. [/QUOTE]
