Hornady 30 cal. 225g eld-m

[Ranger188]

Anybody have good or bad to say about these? Or even the 230g A-tips?
Looking to use them in a 300 Norma mag. since I can't find the Berger 230g hybrids.

They shot pretty good in my 5 Grove Bartlein 300PRC. Just don't push them to hard!

My buddy shoots the 225s out of a 300WM with sub 2" 5 shot groups at 500y all the time

I’ve run 225 ELD-Ms and Berger 230s in my 300 Norma; both shoot very well. I typically go with the 225s for a couple of reasons; they are less money and more available than Bergers. Running them at 2970 fps over H-1000 out of a 30” Bartlein in 9 twist out to 2650 yards.

I'm shooting 208s with great success out of my 300WM. 3050fps 30" at 1 mile. I will try 225s when I run out of 208s for shiggles.

They shoot really well out of my 300 prc at 3050fps

The 225 gr ELDM shot real well out of a 300 PRC 26” 9 twist Krieger 4 groove at 2817 FPS with H 1000. Shot them out to 1435 yards with very impressive accuracy and trajectory. Had to adjust ballistic program calculations to match a 245 gr Berger to match up to actual field performance. I’ve struggled with reliable accuracy with the 230 gr ATIP. Was also wondering about others experience with the 230 gr ATIP because I don’t hardly ever hear of anyone using them either.

Hornady 225 eldm have been more accurate than the 230 Atip ...shot them in the 300 RUM , and a bunch in 308 win..purchased a thousand eldm for the 308, after shooting some .3" 5 shot groups, and run them at 2580 fps to 2680 fps depending on powder, from a 30" Bartlein 8 twist...and even an 18" AR 10 with good accuracy single load...or modified mag and milled AR 10 reciever and extension.
