Non Lead .264 bullets?
- Thread starter Smittiac
- Start date
The Hornady GMXs are 100% gilding metal (95% copper and 5% tin, IIRC). I shoot them a little in my 6Creed but with so many bullets to evaluate, I have little experience with the GMXs.. Here are all of Midway's .264 nonlead bullets.

I would look at Hammer Bullets and Cutting Edge.
Those are actually the ones I was looking for lol, saw a thread here a few days ago that I couldn't find.
PVA isn't on the list though....
Killed three deer with the 123 Absolute Hammer, two died instantly and one died after a 60 yards run but that was with liquified lungs and a hole in the heart, not sure what more you could ask for. MV was 3380 out of a 24” 6.5 PRC.
With the 122gr Controlled Chaos from Lehigh I killed a 475 pound black bear, all three body shots penetrated clean through including a diagonal shot that broke the spine and hit the lungs. MV was 3150 out of the same 24” 6.5 PRC.
The new version is 135 I think.
i shoot their 350gr 375, 285gr 338 and 145gr 284. They are excellent bullets
Reach out to PVA- I thought they had the letter to be CA compliant.
Also, I’ve been shooting the 122 Cayugas. They’re lasers using H4350, I’m getting 2950 out of a 21” creedmoor barrel.
Here’s that thread

Hunters, Folks on here are pretty familiar with the bullets that I've designed and was recently awarded no less than 4 utility patents for them. There are a bunch of ELR records, Cold Bore World Records, etc set with my designs. At the request of many there are now hunting designs directly...

I've had really good results with the Lehigh copper bullets. I use them in a 6.5 creedmoor and in a 7mm Rem Mag.
Tikka T3 CTR 24" 6.5 Creedmoor
Norma brass
WLR Primers
44.5 gr of H4350
122gr Lehigh controlled chaos
Averaging 2910 fps
(coal 2.925) (B.T.O. 2.240)
I dropped a smaller buck last year at 437yds. I put it right in the "crease" and he was DRT.
Overall I'm happy with the bullet. The only drawback I see is they don't buck the wind as well as an ELD-X/ELD-M. But they are consistent, as long as I adhere to my dope for wind they hit where they are supposed to.

124g Hammer Hunters are ideal for a monolithic .264
Mine run under .5 MOA with very little load development. I'm at 2900fps out of a 20" Proof with 40.2 Varget
