62 eld vt

[urbanrifleman]

To answer your question on what I ment by saying the 62gr seems to be a "step up" from the 53gr.
I should be able to shoot the 62gr. ELD-VT at a greater distance with the same explosive performance as the 53gr V-Max bullets due to the higher BC and weight of the 62grn bullets.

Yah the 62 eldvt is the new king of the hill.

Of course the 69 ELDVT is out now.

69 ELDVT??? You have information we don't know about

Dang it. I knew i should have done an 8 twist on my 22-250. Maybe I should screw on a fresh barrel, but make it an Ackley

Oh boy... I will have to test them in my (2) 8-twist 22 Dasher Rifles and my 7-twist 22BR rifle.

Hmm. Not listed on their website https://www.hornady.com/eld-vt#!/

Well Hell! You'd think Hornady was trying to personally kill off the 22-250. Glad to see two choices of 22 caliber ELD-VTs. Now if they would give us 20 caliber guys and gals a 48-50 grain ELD-VT I would not be mad about another Creedmore factory load. LOL

Will a 1-9 work with the 62 ?

I recently got a new .22 Nosler (1-8") bolt gun back from the gunsmith with high hopes of the 62 ELD liking the first of two tubes I had chambered. My first session didn't go as great as hoped. Averaged around 5/8" to 3/4" MOA depending on powder. My .22 Nosler A/R does better than that with 55 Blitz Kings (though haven't tried the 62's in it yet) so hoping for better to come. Fortunately, I had also loaded up some Berger 73's I had laying around and they went in one ragged hole - so I know the gun "shoots" with something. I have loaded up a second batch of ELD's with different powders and hope things go better.

What velocity /barrel length with 55's ,thinking about doing 22 nosler in my XP-100 16",wanting to keep .223 bolt face.

 

[kojaone]

No

Brad,what twist would be optimal ?

8 twist seems to be great. Testing 7 twist next.

My A/R barrel is 24". Since writing this post, I did get the 62 ELDVT's to shoot nicely in my bolt gun (26" barrel) using 26.1 grns. IMR8208XBR for 3,030 FPS - nice, tight 1/2" 5-shot groups. Both barrels 8 twist.

Is that a Wylde chamber?

No - .22 Nosler chambering.

 

[X Count]

Wonder what twist the 69gr will need

 

[urbanrifleman]

I just went shooting.

I made a new 223 Wylde 7 twist. And I shot my known good 223 ISSF 7 twist.

Tested the 62 eldvt.

Absolutely horrible in 7 twist at normal 223 velocities.

odd, should be more than enough twist to stabilize them?

 

[urbanrifleman]

Oh, they are stable. Probably trying to spin apart.

It appears that more spin is bad.
