Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Hornady 147 ELDM 6.5's

I know this is a loaded question, but do they seem to shoot well in most guns? Or are not known to be generally problematic?

I've stumbled on to a big pile of them at a somewhat regular price, $44/100. (They won't ship, I ask) A 2 hour drive to go back.

I bought 2 boxes but hesitated on more as I've never used them. Just want them to shoot, not interested in profiteering at this time as I've got enough stuff to do that with if I wanted.

Just second guessing I recon.

I didn't have much trouble getting them to sub-moa. This was a seating test with my Tikka T3x, 6.5 Creed.

I shoot them expressly,in more than a "few" rifles and if they don't dazzle,the rifle/scope/mounts are compromised. Hint.

In a Teeker Krredmire,they'll Smooch with the "M" mag and shoot quite a bit better,than the attempt(s) above. Alpha LRP,'17,200's and magfed of course. 1913 rail,real glass and a real reticle. Hint.

Groups that aren't round,are telling. Hint.............

Some of us must struggle along doing the best we can with what we have to work with.
Maybe if I throw it in the creek the groups will get more rounder.

Thanks guys, I might have screwed up by not getting more.

They might get back to $39 a hundred, or never. Bird in the had & all that.

Karen,

I enjoy how you've PERFECTED being a "victim",as you Meltdown...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

Points awarded,for being afraid of the weather too. Hint.

Bless your heart for trying.

Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!..............




'zo,

I never learned how to linger and would rather be on the top looking down,than the bottom looking up,like poor poor(literally) Karen. Hint....................

3 shot groups suck anyway. He needs to shoot more than 5 and really see a "round" group. If not, keep trying until they are. Some people get it, some/most don't.. Also to answer the OP's question, I would have passed on that price ("$44.00/100") as well.

Karen,

I am VERY "surprised" that Geometry stumps you,though your Brokedick Vagina Monolgue is fhuqking HILARIOUS...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

The only group this then NEW rifle has ever shot on paper. Pardon it being round. Though in fairness,I've not shot it since earlier today and still has yet to see as much as a patch. Alpha,'17,200's,147 magfed Smooch. Hint.




Sorry POA/POI aligning is arranged so easily for me,as you Lick Windows and talk out your ass and search a co-signer to buy a box of bullets,to Pretend to shoot. Hint.





Though it coulda' been a fhuqking "fluke"?!? Hint.




Gals who "know" and "do" as "much" as you,will ALWAYS be best served by asking questions,rather than giving "answers". You couldn't knock the "new"off a used pair of boots. Hint. LAUGHING!

Bless your heart,you poor poor(literally) CLUELESS Do Nothing Fhuqktard.

Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!.................

There are a lot of guys that put rounds WAY down range that can tell wtf is going on with a rifle without shooting 10 shot groups.

But it's cute that you need 10 rounds.

It's never been difficult to savvy who shoots and who don't. Not that I don't get a fhuqking kick out of Day Dreaming Dumbfhuqks and their HILARIOUS Delusions. Hint....................(grin)

Some people get it, some/most don't..

It's a hell of an accurate bullet in my 7.5 twist 6.5 Swede over H-1000 for 2960 fps, only hit two coyotes with it, one at 588, the other sitting beside a bush with 2 inches of neck and head visible at 302, center punched the side of head, it's a great little bullet.

It's been eager to please in every one of several rifles I've tried it in.

4 out of 6 rnds at 1 mile, 6.5 prc 147 eld-m 58 gr. Retumbo cci 250 when conditions are right they will get it done. Rio7

I’ve only loaded with them in 2 rifles so far. Very accurate in both.

Rio,

Impressive! Good shooting!

I was super impressed with the Horny 147gr in factory rolled ammo, and bought a few. Haven't worked on my own loads yet, but with the factory ammo I have been perfectly happy with 5-shot and 10-shot groups at 100.

More importantly, drop at 1300+ yards has matched the predictions well even with the ES from the factory loads.

Sample of one rifle, but I don't plan on switching bullets right now.

Told you you’d hate it

The 147's are all I shoot in the PRC's. Never had reason to even try anything else. Have 1000 supposed to be here friday, another 1000 on backorder and got 500 a couple months ago. I'll be good for a spell....

I'm getting worried because I've only got about 1300 left. Supply has dried up around here and I'm getting low!
