Range Report 130 eld bc?

[Mxridr]

Just bought a few to mess with. Just wondering if bc is accurate. I know 140 eld is pretty close to published bc. Thanks

depends on your individual barrel.

the published data will be a starting point. you have to true it from there, ideally at like 6-800y and 1200-1500y

Tried them.. They were not good. Crap accuracy. Crap bc. The only Hornady bullet I couldn't get to shoot.
Run the Berger 130 AR hybrids. Those are money.

I shot them for a year in PRS. They shot great. Placed top 10 in a couple of national 2 day matches with them. The BC I used was .284 G7. I believe this is higher than what they publish. I always made hits at 1,200 yards plus without issue. I remember going 9/10 on the 1000 yard TYL at the heatstroke open with the 130 ELD. Smallest plate was sub MOA and I made 4 out of 5 hits on it.

Thanks for info. Load development has shown very good accuracy. Just haven’t had out to distance yet
