Any seller is going to tell you the features and benefits of their product. Hornady being no different . I believe Hornady is a heads up company and they do a lot for the shooting and hunting community.
We built these companies into what they are. Now they’re lying to us and inflating their prices so high. Some can no longer afford to shoot. EF these big name companies for what they’re doing to the consumer’s.

Appreciate the in-depth video and the shout out. One possible clarification, in my video I actually said Hornady was the MOST honest company with their BC’s. That came from an Air Force white paper. They also found that most other companies inflated hunting bullet BC’s but not target bullets. Great channel. New subscriber here.

Please continue to make these professional, non-clickbait videos. Great timing with the 6.5CM 143 ELDX - this is the ammo I have selected for my new rifle and gives me confidence in my 10 box purchase. I sighted mine indoors, but also was able to create .8" groups using a Ruger American Gen II +TBAC. My two box FPS standard deviation using had squirrellier results at 28, but I might be more concerned about the range supplied radar. It had no recent calibration and was pretty banged up. Anyways, anecdote aside, it's nice to know a pro verified the performance. FYI - if you know any beginners looking for a fantastic affordable rifle, I recommend Ruger's latest gen 2. I had two quality issues and they straight up sent me a new stock (AWESOME customer service). Minor issues aside, the actual accuracy has been fantastic after two range trips. Third is tomorrow where I hopefully stretch it to 300y and 1000y.

I might add a day later - 20 x 20" plates were shot at half mi and 1000 yard succesfully - this is after using a bad range radar to get my FPS sort of close enough... My ELDX using the range radar told me I was 500 FPS lower than last time - yeah that's not right lol. Proof was in the groups though. Good ammo.

I think a lot of people just haven’t deep dived enough into ballistics to understand the numbers. I ran my 308 load using G1, G7, 4DOF, and Litz custom models and they all gave different holds at 800 yards with a spread of 27” from min to max. And another channel stripped some 7prc rounds down and showed how the powder shortage is the reason for lower velocities in current production. He has older Precision Hunter 7prc that does hit stated velocities.

The least bc deviation is in berger hybrids, like 0.85% i think (tested with dopler radar, aka 300 000 usd or whatever radar), meanwhile hornandy eldms/atips are like 3%. Hence the f-class pick bergers.

Getting to watch bullets being tested by Applied Ballistics and their lab grade doppler radar at several matches has been an eye opener. Believe it or not your barrel, whether it's clean or dirty, low round count or high, as well as your handloading technique and how much you damage the exterior during seating it into the case, all of these have a very measurable effect on the bullets BC performance. Both its overall average in your rifle as well as its standard deviation.
@don_kandon6006

I believe eldm had 2.5% bc deviation according to applied ballistics (bryan litz), while bergers have only 0.75-1.25% or so. Maybe a-tips improved but found no info on that. But yeah, hence why all fclass is using bergers and lapua brass.

I have shot about 7000 hornady 140 ELDMs and 1500 147 ELDMs over the last several years out of 1 savage factory barrel, 1 PVA prefit, 2 stainless proof prefits, 1 proof carbon prefit, and 1 bartlein. I have never had the 140s line up with “box” BC. I have ran between .280-.300 g7 for it on multiple of those barrels to get it to true. The 147s I am currently running at .312 in the carbon barrel to true. This is truing at 1000 yards using a Kestrel with AB. BC accuracy is a complex subject due to variations in bore diameter, environmental conditions, etc. I have played with 4 DOF some and that seems to get more consistent firing solutions with their bullets.

The problem I have with doing a BC test like this in the field compared to a BC test at Hornady manufacturing, is that Hornady does their tests in a controlled indoor environment lab in machine rests.

100% understand where you are coming from and really can’t argue your specific point. My opinion on it though is lab testing is great but what matters to all of us is real world, field performance. My goal is to keep my channel focused on the real world performance of the gear and in this case I believe we were able to show field performance is in line with the lab testing which I take as a win for anyone shooting Hornady ammo. Had the field testing been way off from the lab results then that’s something I feel the audience should be aware of as many people are basing purchase decisions solely on trust that the manufacturer data is correct and representative of results any shooter will see.

The Hornady offerings in 7PRC are definitely not doing the chambering any favors. ELD-X was almost 200 fps lower than advertised on box, the Outfitter CX was loaded with a compressed charge of Staball HD. Seating depth was forced so long with the compressed load that 2 of the cartridges would not even chamber - over half of the box showed ejector marks on the spent brass. What we are seeing is a result of non existent powder availability thanks to our federal war machine - when Hornady is forced to buy powder from the competition you know that there are massive supply chain issues.

I do not doubt the b.c.'s published by hornady. Through their original doppler data I've had excellent results. What I believe I'm seeing here is aero jump, along with an elevated bc from your chrono. With a right to left wind, using a right twist barrel there will be a noticed "jump", or rise in the p.o.i.... I've recorded this exact data with the 212 eld-x out of a 300 win mag, 143's out of swede and prc, 178's out of 308, and 123 out of grendels. Just my opinion. Awesome videos!

I'm not saying this is the case with your results as I have not shot the 7PRC in the monolithic CX bullet. But I have with the 175 ELD-X and the 180 ELD-M. All the PRC cartridges appear to be very tight tolerances at the shoulder neck area of the cartridge compared to most other standard cartridges. I made the mistake during barrel break-in and forgot a short rod to swab out the chamber of any cleaning solution residue when I removed by bore guide. Apparently, there was a drop or two deposited in the chamber area when I removed my bore guide. This caused the case to not stick to the chamber walls and slam back against the bolt face, causing ejector marks with brass flow on the brass as well as mimicking high pressure and hard bolt lift. However, the Chronograph on the Factory ELD-M cartridges still averaged 2855-2868 fps and did not indicate any higher pressure. As soon as I realized this after the first 5-shots, I made sure to clean and dry out my chamber as best I could with my cleaning rod jag with a dry patch. And wouldn't you know it, the ejector high pressure marks completely disappeared and no hard bolt lift on the next 5 rounds. I had no more brass flow or ejector marks. I did have 1-2 rounds that had barely visible ejector swipes with no real brass flow, but for the most part, all excessive pressure marks completely went away and I no longer had hard bolt lift. I suspect that there are a high number of people that report high pressure on Factory ammo, that there chambers have residual bore cleaner moisture that is mimicking high pressure signs and it is not really the ammo overloaded to max pressures as some would leave you to believe. I can assure you, Companies such as Hornady, if anything, way under load their Factory cartridges to well below max pressures as a legal measure to protect themselves. Now is it possible a batch of ammo is overloaded? Yes, that is possible, but I think most of the internet reported overloaded pressure signs, is related to the shooter leaving moisture bore cleaner in the chamber when they remove their bore guides for their cleaning rods.

You even found that the BC #s from the FX Chronograph wasn't very far off Hornady's #s. So, this IS A PLUS are proves the point! I always use their numbers for a start then dial the gun and bc #s in once I start shooting. We must not forget a few simple rules: #1, A manufacturers TEST EQUIP is soooooo different than ours. I'm sure their doppler radar is more expensive that what we are using. #2, Your gun is very DIFF from mine and they both are diff than Hornady's TEST GUN! #3, do your own homework and use listed BC's as a start not as an "end all be all"! #4, testing equipment that we own is not very precise either (powder throwers, scales, chrono's, scope turrets etc). Chrono to chrono #'s will vary! lots of people trying to expose/destroy Hornady (not you) with catchy clickbait titles.

Some people don't realize BC isn't exactly a "fixed" number, it changes during bullet flight time and _degrades_ as the bullet loses velocity. Why if you do some digging on the Hornady site and most other manufacturers you can usually find BC numbers for a specific bullet at 3 different Mach velocity numbers. Those can be entered into ballistic calcs with a multi-BC input. The number on the box is BC near the muzzle, not at 500-1k+ yards.

Really interesting findings - thanks! I'm sure this is part of your process but I wanted to ask are you factoring aerodynamic jump into your calculations? At those further distances it could cause a higher or lower impact depending on the wind direction?

Great channel, really enjoy the content. I have a question about how companies establish their BC numbers. Is it based on actual performance or is a theoretical number based on the bullet physical characteristics. Just wondering if a fired bullet with the rifling grooves in it would have a different BC than one that was unfired?

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Hornady was inflating their numbers. Years ago. I shot nothing but Hornady amax in my 300 win mag, none of them would hit the target at 800 yd and beyond. I struggled for a long time trying to figure out what was wrong, never could figure it out. So I changed bullets to Sierra match King, then all of them were on target every time. Shortly after Hornady announced a recall on there amax line because of the tips melting at high velocity, contacted Hornady and asked them for a replacement for all the ones I had purchased previously, even offered to send them all back, Hornady declined, so I ended up with thousands of useless projectiles, threw them in the trash. It ended up costing me almost $1,000 in projectiles. For me. That's nothing to sneeze at. No more Hornady for me ever again!

The Big Game Hunting Blog posted an excellent video where he tested 7 PRC 175 ELD-X velocities and found that recent lots are about 100 FPS slower than older lots. He contacted Hornady and they stated that they are temporarily using a different powder due to an apparent shortage of that particular powder. The fact that they haven't updated the box data seems to indicate they plan to continue using the previous powder once it is available and this should be a temporary issue.

I actually just watched this exact video the other day. It’s a little strange to me that Hornady doesn’t just update the published velocity on the box but under stand how slow big corporations operate. Like you say, I’m guessing Hornady’s goal would be to find a way to get the actual velocities up to the published box velocities at some point down the road.

@@MountainsMulletsMerica Agreed, would be best for the customers if they always gave correct data. It feels like they were hoping they could get away with it for a while without anyone noticing. Maybe the shortage was supposed to be brief and has continued longer than expected. Hornady has a track record of honesty (as you demonstrated here), so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt as long as this issue remains isolated.

I bought the same rifle but not with the carbon barrel. I was getting about 2900fps the first 50 rounds of the hornady 175 and now they're up to about 2960. I think hornady was getting 3000fps out of there 175g but they can't get the reloader26 and there has been a few videos showing 3 different types of powder in the 175g. I think hornady would be putting out what they advertise if they could get the RL26.

The bergara is a great rifle! While I wish I was getting more speed out of the 7prc I understand it is what it is until supply frees up. I’d rather shoot ammo that’s a little slower in velocity than have nothing to shoot haha

@@MountainsMulletsMerica I just think it’s either a bonehead comment or specifically meant to cause controversy. In what world would it benefit Hornady to fudge numbers when every redneck (like myself) and his brother have a chrono these days. It could only negatively impact their business 🤷🏽

I loaded some 200gn ELDX .308cal with 41gn of Winchester Staball match powder. The brass was used brass, Federal, I shot prior to. I was shooting a 10" steel plate at 708 yards with 15-20 mph wind. My MV was averaging 2362 with a SD 10.4, spread of 59.1. Any thoughts on shooting that heavy of a bullet? The rifle I was shooting is a 20" Bergara HMR PRO. Topped off with a Leupold mark4 4.5-15x50 sfp. That round seemed to do better in the wind than most rounds used in that rifle and the type of terrain. Can you load some 200gn .308 ELD-X and post a video on your performance? Thanks Jeff

I had to grin when I saw the chunks shot out of your T post… been there done that, although not at that distance :-) You put out some of the best shooting content on KZitem… the 3 different views is AWESOME!!! You are honest, direct, and without bias. Would you mind talking some time about how you interpret the windage data on the Shooter App? I’ve been trying to use the same App, not sure I understand what hold the windage is giving me. Is the degree angle the wind angle from North or angle to the shooter? THANKS!

As usual, super solid content that's free of all the fluff. Question- you mentioned that you don't like to shoot polymer tipped bullets in an AR, how come? Do you find that particular recoil impulse deforms them in the mag or the feeding angle beats them up?

Bc value can change by weather that's why they might not match up with what's on the box
