Reply With QuoteIf that's not a miss-print, that's a screamin' good deal for 338 pills... but I have my doubts. Says 100 count, but the 285 ELD-M's are $37/50, and Hornady's site lists 270gr ELD-X as boxes of 50.
Midway final received a shipment and ordered mine.

They say "Don't try this at home"... so I'm headed over to a friend's house.
Am hoping its not a miss print. But took a picture of the ad anyways to call them on it if they arrive with 50 per box. Mine come in friday.
Got the bullets. 50 per box. Oh well. time for load development.
Just got off the phone with Hornady. They don't have load data yet for these bullets. Said to use 285 gr data and work up for now. They hope to have the data by end of the year.
Loaded up a series to try out. Compared the load for the 285 and 250 gr bullets and went in between to come up with something to try. Hornady should be coming out with theirs soon. Semi good day, overcast and 25 degrees with calm winds. Labradar was having issues so only got to record 1 out of 3 shots per set. Warmed up barrel with 5 shots. Used H-1000.
90.2 gr 2821.18 FPS
90.5 gr 2849.65 FPS
90.8 gr 2832.88 FPS
91.1 gr 2851.70 FPS
91.4 gr 2859.35 FPS *Best group
Have a feeling H-1000 will not be the best for this round. But will wait for Hornady to post their testing before jumping to conclusions.
