I ordered the 175s from Midsouthshooterssupply on 12/23/2015 and they are still on backorder too.

If you guys in ND are near a Scheels try them, the Scheels in Billings had 10 boxes on the shelf today!

I shot some 143 ELDX in my 6.5 SS today. I forgot my bipod so shot this lying on the ground with the magspeed attached. I am pretty impressed with this bullet so far. I think with a good rest, this would have been an impressive group.....Rich

I shot this group today with my 6.5 SS while lying on the ground with the magspeed attached. I forgot my bipod so it was difficult to stay steady. I think with a good rest, it would have been an impressive group. I am really liking what I see in these bullets so far.

Thanks! I ordered a box of 162's and 175's from the Billings store. They are going to ship them to my door. They have 4 boxes of 162's and 17 boxes of 175's if anyone needs some.

Hornhunter, the 162's I saw were the ELD-Match not the X's!

Just got a call from Midway.
They are shipping me my 15 boxes of 175's today!!

I confirmed they were the X's and not the M's.

Right?! I had always hoped Hornady would bring out an A-MAX in .277 but when they announced the ELD-X I was surprised they didn't introduce like a 150gr .270 bullet and a 105gr for the .24cal rifles. Both of these calibers are great for deer and other medium game and the ELD-X would really add to their effective range and increase their performance.

EXACTLY!! Bring on the ELD-X in .277 for SURE. Personally, I'd buy the crap out of them at .257 also, but I understand it isn't as popular as the others. I have no doubt Hornady will want to spread the ELD-X as widely as Nosler has spread their AB and ABLR offerings. SOON, PLEASE!!!

+1 It would be nice if Hornady would produce a 270cal 160grain ELD-X.

Just received notification from Midway USA that my order for 2 boxes of 162 grain ELD X has shipped!

Hornhunter, I'm glad I checked again with you, went over to Scheels today in Billings and picked up three boxes of the 162 ELD-X's that were hidden behind the counter and not out-front! Looking forward to shooting the bad boys!
