Only one of which.....the ELD-X is a hunting bullet. Compared to most other 6mm hunting bullets, the ELD-X reminds me of the SR71 Blackbird.......long and sleek. But if you load the ELD-X to factory ammo specs, it ought to feed thru the magazine and chamber. But all of the bullets Hornady offers for this caliber are of the long, sleek high BC type. If the barrel has a fast twist, might be good to follow suit. Yeah if I understand right the whole deal behind it.....at least what how they cut the new chamber and throat, was to allow you to shoot those and the the most out of the small platform. Was going to buy them I thought about how I don't know this specific barrel nor the powder so it could be short and just seemed like a safer bet to go with a shorter mid weight bullet for the time being. That being also I doubt dads gonna shoot past 300yd at the absolute max so YouTube expert

Just cheaper brass boss man what velocity your getting with yours btw ? YouTube expert

Just picked up the Gen2 and got the scope moved over from the Gen1. May get out to shoot it this weekend. As far as your Dad shooting 300, that shouldn’t be an issue at all. Once he realizes what it’ll do that man may scoff at 150 and in!

As far as distance, well not really his thing at least it hasn't been . Actually really confuses a lot of people when they hear us talks bout guns were polar opposites on most things YouTube expert

This was a really right deal I just tossed together for the load I'm looking at doing Last edited by Wolfdog91; 07/13/24 12:02 AM. YouTube expert

Wolfdog91 OP trapper Joined: Jul 2013 Amite county Mississippi	So was cleaning up and found a few spare parts ( hand guard barrel grip , lil LPVO about the same soze as the one going on) and just wanted to slap together a rough idea of what this is gonna end up being. Just loose fit everything Definitely will be needing the lower once piece mount and might have to use this hand gaurd vs the 9.5" one I ordered . But it's fairly compact and handy and less the. 7lbs according to my scale.... Ughn can't wait for all the parts to arrive! Last edited by Wolfdog91; 07/16/24 10:33 PM. YouTube expert
