An Outstanding LRP Round
If you shoot LRP or compete and do not reload this round is a must have. Hornady hit a home run with the ELD line and the 140 ELD in 6.5 CM is the sweet spot for many precision rifles in this caliber. The ELD bullet is very forgiving in terms of jump so this is not a bullet that will open up groups dramatically depending on seating depth relative to your chamber. It also functions very well in 6.5 CM AR platforms. I've been able to shoot groups under an inch at 300 yards using this cartridge in a stock RPR. One third MOA far exceeds the guaranteed accuracy for this rifle. If you have to choose one factory loaded 6.5 CM cartridge this is the one you want. I can also state that for hand loaders the brass is easily reloadable 7 times or more before you have to discard.

Sub Moa ammo
I started in competitive PRS shooting on an amateur basis last year so I wanted to start with hornady eldm. I'm heading into my second season and my SAC bolt gun eats this ammo up. I had tried other brands to see what my rifle liked to didn't like. after 1300+ rounds and counting, I don't see myself reloading anytime in the near future. I've never had a misfire with this ammo either. we ran it on a a Magnetospeed V3 and SD was in the single digits. on a 26" barrel with 7" suppressor, I was getting 2761 fps

Sub MOA from the factory
I'm absolutely astounded with Hornady 140gr ELD in 6.5 Creedmoor. My system is a Tikka T3x Tac A1 with a Leupold vx3 6.5-20x EFR. My first time out to the range I was able to shoot some impeccable groups with the rifle right out of the box with minimal break in. Check the images below, which were all accomplished with this ammo. All groups were shot at 200 yards.

Great Ammo
Very solid ammo for my Ruger Precision Rifle. Since I'm not yet reloading this has been my go-to ammo to become familiar with this rifle. Compared to the picture shown there is a new box design but as far as I can tell it's still the same relatively consistent, reliable ammo. I haven't noticed any negative characteristics in switching between the older box design and the new box design, not that there would be, but I have read on a forum that some people noted less consistent muzzle velocities than advertised and greater muzzle velocity variations on this ammo. It's definitely not my experience but worth mentioning. The advertised muzzle velocity is 2710 fps and after a range trip almost all my shots, 40 shots total, were within an acceptable muzzle velocity variation. 1st shot to 10th picked from random on the two boxes I had at the range. 2746fps 2721fps 2723fps 2744fps 2731fps 2735fps 2716fps 2716fps 2752fps 2731fps Range Conditions August 13 temp-93 ammo-93 Humidity 58% Hg 30.00 Wind 3-5 SSW My other 30 shots were very similar. So according to a standard deviation calculator it is looking like a 12.74 deviation in muzzle velocity. There wasn't a review so I thought I'd make one. Cheers
