New hornady ELD-VT bullets

[B23]

Charge more for the "new" product that costs less to produce.

I understand what you're saying but if something does as advertised, I don't mind spending a little more for it.

Marketing works.

Marketing works.

What has "marketing" got to do with introducing a new bullet in a market that NEEDS A NEW BULLET?

 

[Tommie]

Sadly this is true. If we could only get hornady the make a 50 gr eld VT for a 20 cal.

CAN I GET AN AMEN?!

Cuz hating Hornady is cool

 

[Coyotefurharvester]

Why a new bullet, make ones we haven't been able to get for 3 years.

Hornady has the ONLY bullets that have consistently been available. I think you are thinking of Sierra, Nosler, and Berger.

How odd. The one company that has kept their supply chain constant to reloaders.

i agree with your sentiment completely. love me some hornady, they have always been there for me and very fair pricing.

i just built a $7,000 benchrest rig (gun only) with every intent to run bergers. but i think im going to run hornadys now instead to just piss off the haters

Aint it?

No hate for Hornady, shoot a lot of vmax. They have a price point market, and seem to know their customers spending habits.

You might check out the Barnes bullets too. The atips will supposedly outshoot Bergers.

I hope they come out with a new .20 in 50-55grs

 

[Capt. Oblivious]

That 6mm 80gr is going to be a nice little head exploder when culling

 

[Kracken McGraw]

I hope Hornady designed the .264 bullet around their 6.5 8 twist Creedmoor baby, that would be fun.

It sure is refreshing to see a company that thinks outside the box.Im very happy to see this new line and am thankful that Hornady is in our corner, they are hunters and shooters like us.Of course they are doing it for the money, nobody works for free and if they can provide a better mousetrap we should buy it.
Can not wait to see a 20 caliber component for reloaders. I wish factory 204s were an 11 or 10 twist and then I would bet money that Hornady would have offered a new ELD-VT in 20 cal as well as loaded ammo. I also think this new line is geared to a lot of the Creedmore and ARC shooters because most of those rifles are produced with fast twists from the factory, perhaps Hornady needs to add a new 20 caliber factory offering with the help of the rifle manufacturers in 20 ARC with a 9 twist meant for a 46-48 grain ELD-VT bullet.After all they were responsible for the 204 in the first place, they can do it again.

I am gonna run some through my 6.5 WSM for sure, rockchucks ain’t gonna like it

Waiting for test results.
Tip plus air space.
A long for weight .224 bullet might end up with a fantastic B.C.

 

[S&sprecisionTx]

And another thing why would they make another 80 grand bullet when we already have the 87 grain V-Max you'd think they do like a 95 or 100 grain ELDVT

 

[Rocketvapor]

100gr ELDVT with extra air and a plastic tip is likely to be VERY long.
The 90 gr A-Tip is 1.275" long.
