[QUOTE="Timeee123, post: 1406340, member: 104480"] I am in my 3rd year of shooting .284 eld-x I have switched to them and shoot them in everything I own. With these bullets, I have killed 1 elk, 4 antelope, and 3 deer. I have busted prairie dogs at 300 yards and busted rocks out to 1250 yards. I have had zero issues with accuracy. Not saying they are a magic seed, maybe I'm not particular enough about my equipment. I'm not sure how much difference .015 average makes when stuff is moving at 3000fps? I wonder if an unrealistic expectation is put on things. Bullets are made by machines hundreds of thousands at a time. Expecting all of these to be exact by any maker is insane. As far as customer service, I started using the .284 175 eld-x, my powder of choice is H1000. At that time there was no load data for this bullet/powder combo. I called Hornady for 3 weeks probably 2 hours worth of phone time we tested and shot and traded data to come up with a safe range of powder. They were eager to share and also eager to listen. I enjoyed working with them and recommend them to anyone. Bummer you had a bad experience, But I tend to believe when the rep says they all have a slight variance that he is probably correct.
