212 eldx tested bc anyone?

[shawnb]

Hi all. Im almost out of 225 eldm bullets and have a few hundred 212 eldx and berger 215 hybrids.

I see litz lists the 212 eldx at .359G7. Can anyone verify this? And by verify i mean out to and past 1500yds? Hornady lists it quite lower. I plan to load each and test myself but wanted sone real world experience on the 212s. We all know the 215s are pretty solid for bc.

Can't verify the BC, specifically - but the file they are using in their 4dof app has been spot on to 1760

Perfect thanks

Did you adjust the axial form factor?

Litz lists the bc higher than hornady? Lol

If you guys are interested in how litz comes up with his g7 bc's and why they differ from the manufacturer.

The Ballistic AE app has a library of Litz verified BCs in it... Im seeing the 212 ELD-X at a G7 of .334

Heres a snapshot right from Applied Ballistics.

OP - I did indeed adjust axial at 800yds. Mine came out to 1.02

Just curious if you verified the .359 g7 compared to the .334 showed a few posts down, Hornadys listed BC is .336 on their website.

I would be very happy if it turns out to be 359 G7, I bought several boxes of these and am planning to start load development with them in my 300wm, and hoping to build a 300 PRC in the next couple years after there are some good sources of brass available.

So far no testing on my part. Had to send my scope in for warranty shortly after i posted the thread. Still waiting for the scope to come back.

An update for anyone interested.

I came out to the mountains today with 2 rifles loaded with 212 eldx bullets. Load workup is done. They shoot very well in each rifle.

I contacted applied ballistics about their number and they replied they are verified and true. So here i am with 2 rifles shooting out to 2015 yards today and they are averaging a .334/.336 G7 BC.

Ive used the 215 berger at this same spot using velocity that my magnetospeed said and bergers bc from the box. They were spot on all the way out too. So i trust my magnetospeed and kestrel for my verifications. If i keep using these bullets i will be using a .334 G7.
