109 ELDm bullets

I'm getting, awesome Accuracy ( .2's and .3's ) from, Sierra 107 gr. "Tipped" MK's, for Steel / Target use at, light "Jam" with, Velocity @ 2,930 FPS and have NO reason to, Look further but,..
I'm starting to, Test the Hornady, 103 gr ELD-X's for accuracy, as this, TOUGHER Bullet, will be, My NEW, L R Antelope & Coyote Bullet and so far, I have put, 5 shots into Sub, 1/2 MOA with, it.
I'm using 40.5 Grs of StaBall 65, in my, 24", 1-7.5 twist, 6 XC with, both Bullets, F-210 M, Norma Brass.
The 108 gr. Berger, Elite Hunters, Shoot, in the 3's also but, I have NOT tried, the 108 gr. ELD- M's.
I think, HOOT, has used them, in his 6 Creedmoor if, he reads this, he might,.. "Chime in" !
Pretty SURE that, he had, great accuracy with, the 108 gr., ELD-M's ( Don't See, a 109 grain, Listed by Hornady)

They're sold by Gap Precision, a special build for the 6mm GT
 
I'm having a good showing in the initial testing with the 109 ELDs in 6mm ARC . This is a new build, so still in the early stages of load development and at this time results only out to 100. Treating them as 110 ATips for the load data, as they are substantial longer than the 108 ELDs. The ogive is further to the heel of the projectile so wouldn't use them in my semi ( also in ARC ) where you have a mag length restriction not to mention the lack of available space left in the cartridge if seating them to book . On the initial ladder up with Varget, am seeing .2s - .4s at the workup accuracy windows. The higher node speed is at ~2800 fps with 28 grains of the powder, jumping them .020 - .022". Hope to get them out to 600 in the next couple of weeks depending on weather.
 
I don't see a 109 Hornady bullet. I'm assuming you are talking about a 6mm right?
I am using the 108 eldm in my 6 Creedmoor with real good results.
 
6GT 33.9gr varget, alpha brass, .060 jump, 109ELDM. Shoots good at 100yds, but opens a little at 200yds
