Blem .224 63 grain & .243 Hornady 80 grain ELD VT Bullets - Midway

[Hugnot]

Just got some:

Measured & weighed 10 of .224 blem 62 grain ELDVT



Measured & weighed 10, 73 224 ELDM ( not blems) for comparison




Measured & weighed 10, 80 243 ELDM VT (blems)




Measured & weighed 10, 107 Sierra MK's ( not blems) for comparison



Pics of all 4



Next -section .224 62's & .243 80's to see how much inner void, then,

Miller Sg estimates for plastic tip bullets for 9 twist .223, 7.7 twist .22-.250, 8 twist 6mm CM, & 10 twist 6mm AI then,

Shoot loads, chrony velocity, & groups @ 100. Look for funny not round bullet holes.

Shoot groups at 300.

I think good accuracy with low Sg Miller estimates as ELDVT bullets have .14 long plastic tips & internal voids comprising over 1/3 of bullet length. Don't know until I shoot groups & chrony velocities.

Would you have anymore data on these? Curious to try them in the exact same cartridges as you and interested what your findings were. Thank you!!
