Hopefully they stopped selling it so they can fix all the bullets exploding mid flight…

well I have not seen a lot of 147 gr factory ammo sort of funny thinking they would be all over that over charging people for it . ah who fixes anything anymore they just double the price and call it a new feature .

Range Report - Hornady 147 ELDM blowing up

@seansmd, New report Well, I'm totally puzzled at this point. Go out to range twice in 2 days. Yesterday I had a few 147 ELDM's left, shot. 100 yards and who TF knows what the hell was happening. ON paper, but....... not where aimed, then it was where pointed, then not. I'm not talking...

9 pages and that is just the tip of the iceberg

Wow,just read some online issues with 147’s. Guess I have been lucks.shot about 3k of these last 2 years from 2 rifles and not a hiccup.both 1:8. Guess its back to Prime or Berger’s

Why not the 140 ELDs?

Not if they explode before impact, but what I really meant was vs the Prime or Berger. The Berger 144 factory load outperforms both the 140 and 147 ELD loads for me, but it is much harder to find (and more expensive). The 140 ELD load is easier to find, less expensive, and honestly - for me it handled transonic better than the 147 in 6.5CM. Out to 1000 the 147 was better (I never experienced the exploding bullets), but beyond that the 140 was clearly better. And it was also better than the original Prime. I haven’t tried the new Prime.

AmmoSeek. It comes and goes from week to week. No good deals, though.

Bullshit.
But at least now they are even admitting there was a problem, chronology be damned.

Ammoyard.com
greenacressporting.com
Ammoseek.com lists some every couple days
Gunbroker.com has about 70 listings. Best price I have seen is $450 a case

Well, it IS the best factory load I've shot, so there's that consolation. Better MV and SD than either the 140 or 147 ELD loads. If you're playing at the edge of the cartridge's capability (as I usually am) it's probably worth the difference if you aren't going to handload. Under 1000 yds, I'd save the money and shoot the 140 ELD.
