340g Bore Driver ELDX

[ronlaughlin]

Bullet is very easy to load. Appears to be quite accurate for three shots anyway.

awesome!! I hope this is out of an Omega because I got some to try out of mine it has a tight bore and hope they do well with BH.
Thanks for the pic it gives me hope.

 

[ronlaughlin]

Yes, the bullet worked well using Blackhorn; it worked well in two different Omega rifles.

It worked well in my optima. With a 100bh charge. I like it when off the shelf stuff shoots well.

Weigh them when you get a chance. Mine all weigh 349 grains. They shoot very well for me too. X

Yep - bullet is 340 gr and the base adds 9 gr.

I would use them on deer. Not sure about elk.

Sweet...I picked up 5 packs at Scheels a couple weeks ago when visiting my daughter in Texas. Looking forward to trying them in my 700ML and my Accura V2

Once again, this morning the bullet is so very very consistent. Sure makes it fun to shoot! Rifle is an Omega with a Bestill turn to fit breech plug. The bullet is so very easy to load, and so very accurate.

What a beautiful morning.

Thanks Ron. Nice testing.

 

[bronko220002]

Ron what tip did you use for loading? The piece of plastic crap they give you is worthless. I ordered a Pittman jag for them as well as for the Furys

[ElDiablo]

There are several jag options that work just fine.

If you take the skirt off they are pretty close to 140 grains, it is supposed to fall off right out of the barrel when fired. I'm shooting 3/4" out of my accura L RX with BH 209 variflame breech plug Winchester LRM primers. 1945 f/s.

I'm assuming you meant 340. But anyways that's good velocity for such a heavy projectile. How big is your charge? Must kick pretty good

Yep 340 grain Eldx,110 BH 209 BY volume. I have a muzzle brake on it. So recoil is manageable.

Mr. Frank,
Not to hi Jack this tread, but any ideas where I could find at least 309 Winchester LRM Primers?

Large rifle primers are a ghost again!
