Anyone have any experience with this bullet? My first attempts have shown poor accuracy in a 257R and a 257AI that have proven very accurate with other projectiles.

I think Joshf303 was in the process of necking up a .224 Valkyrie for that very bullet. Maybe he'll chime in.
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

Planning to try those in my 9 twist Barrett Fieldcraft 25-06 when I get a chance to do some loading.

Hornady needed to offer the 257 110 gr ELD-X bullet to replace the excellent but "Discontinued" Hornady 100 gr interlock and 120 gr HP bullets. I have not seen any field reports of the .25 110 ELD=X on game here on the fire and like you would like read some field reports yet again Hornady has not made many product mistakes since hardening up the SST line of bullets.
The Hornady 100 gr interlock along with the 120 gr HP shoot a tad under.5 in my 25-06 and just haven't found the need to develop a third hunting load with a new bullet when my existing loads "Kill" so well....mostly DRT.

I fully agree with you. The 120HP and 100IL were (are) two of my favorite bullets...great accuracy and great terminal performance. Am surprised and very disappointed that Hornady chose to discontinue them.

I think I'm just going to see if I can find an accurate load for 100 Partitions.
