[QUOTE="Roninco, post: 1910939, member: 114195"] I stocked up on 147 grain ELD-M's three years ago for my 6.5 PRC. Never had issues through about a 1000 rounds. Opened a new box/lot number last week. Reduced the powder charge to check velocities. Nine of the 18 shots didn't make it to the target. I called Hornady on May 22, 2020 and was told they had early problems with jackets above 3000 fps on these bullets. They changed the jacket design about two years ago. They offered to exchange my old lot six boxes for new lot bullets. Lot numbers above 200XXXX should be the new jacket according to customer service. [/QUOTE]
