[QUOTE="orkan, post: 2615502, member: 25377"] There are other considerations. ELR is typically a .375cal or bigger affair. Those larger bullets are difficult to do correctly in a standard jacketed configuration. The solids perform better, and are certainly easier to make, especially with the high BC designs. The cost of solids is typically much higher than standard projectiles, which keeps the "good enough" crowd from adopting them. That crowd parrots what they read and see, and so nothing will ever be popular until a couple of personalities most of them parrot tell them they should use solids. Then, with the exception of a rare few, most solids are quite a lot more demanding on the handloader. Some can be very finicky, and the same aforementioned crowd doesn't shoot enough to get that worked out. Where as standard bullets tend to be forgiving enough where they can just dump "what the internet says" in the case and it will shoot "good enough." My recent experiences with Hammer bullets have demonstrated there are certainly some designs that lend themselves to being fairly easy for most people to get along with. Cutting edge 352gr 375cal bullets certainly were easy to run back when I was using the big guns. ----------- [URL='https://www.instagram.com/primalrights']Follow on Instagram[/URL] [URL='https://www.youtube.com/user/primalrights']Subscribe on YouTube[/URL] [URL='https://amzn.to/3txlBnp']Amazon Affiliate[/URL] [URL='http://www.primalrights.com'][IMG]http://primalrights.com/images/signatures/sig1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
