Hornady 7mm 180 eld-m terminal performance (pics)

[Creedmoor shooter]

The difference is from .351 and .395 is 10 inches at 1000 yards. Are you just on the target at 1000 yards or constantly hitting bullseyes. Just curious??

That would be hitting a .5moa-1moa target at 1000 with consistency.

I use to be happy just hitting the target and use to call the bc good. When I needed to dial in for a possible kill shot I needed to dial in. To center my group I needed to adjust.

I came up with .3512 independently. Brian Litz's number is similar.

We have a 2 MOA hanging at 100 yard increments to 1100 yards.

I run .360 G7 in my 9 twist and it's been deadly accurate out to 1250 with regularity.

I have 500 of these from the same lot if one of you are needing some.

Maybe I should revisit my drops then.

Thanks for showing us some results. The more knowledge that's out there on these bullets, the better.

Here's an update. I got the deer butchered this morning. I am extremely satisfied with the way this bullet performed at close range. Here is the entry shoulder

As you can see it pretty much disintegrated the joint. Here is the entry through the ribcage under the shoulder

Then we have the exit out the other side

Looks like it performed very well

reviving an old thread. I'd like to hear some more updates on the terminal performance of this bullet

This was my brother's buck last year taken at 500 yards. 7 SAUM with a 180 ELDM. We didn't go digging around (gutless method) but everything was sloshing around in the chest cavity.

Here's another I took last year with the 180 eld-m. Shot was around 80-100 yards on a hard quarter to me shot. Went down like a ton of bricks and snow plowed for 10 yards and was done. This time I had switch to ADG brass and got my velocity up to 3056 fps.

Vitals were destroyed

Entry hole under the hide with just some of the skin cut away to reveal the hole

Entry side of rib cage

Entry side shoulder once again shattered.

The bullet ended up back in the gut bag somewhere so I wasn't able to retrieve it. So far though it's a narly bullet.
