Does anyone have any experience with this, or is it to new still? Looks to carry energy a lot further than the 100g BT's I use now.

Hornady has the 257 ELD-X in inventory but will not ship the bullets until new loading data is completed... which will be posted on the Hornady website. I have loads worked up for my 25-06 using the now discontinued Hornady 100 gr spire point along with the 120 gr HP. I guess I will give this new bullet a try as well.
The real question becomes is there a .25 Creedmore coming in the future??

The 100 grain Ballistic Tip works great for me.

I would be for the heaviest ELD-X that a 1-10 twist would stabilize, too bad that is the twist we live with in that caliber.

465bc vs 481bc for the berger vld-hunting .- same same .
Hornady across the board is my favorite , what's not to like , cheaper than nosler/berger/sierra/etc. .
I'll be trying them out someday , 25-06 has great barrel life .

I would be for the heaviest ELD-X that a 1-10 twist would stabilize, too bad that is the twist we live with in that caliber. I think this is why Hornaday chose 110 grain as some of the longer 115s and above are marginal in a 1-10 twist. My 25-06 has a 1-9 and if I build any other 25s it will have a 1-9 or even faster twist as bullets seem to keep getting longer these days with the monos and VLDs.

Agreed Tejano.
I have been running 1-9's in 25-06 and 257 Roberts. I certainly would not be opposed to going faster either!
