Hornady ELD-x bullets

[libidilatimmy]

I know that these bullets just hit the market, but was wondering if anyone has started playing around with them yet. I called up Hornady looking for some load data, but they said they didn't have anything finalized yet for data. I have a box of 200 gr. bullets I plan on trying out in my 300 WSM and am curious if anyone else has begun load testing with the bullet

I saw these yesterday. They have a very high BC for the caliber and weight. I have used other Hornady bullets and they were very accurate; I am putting these on my list.
I just find a comparable bullet and load, start at a very reduced load, and work them up by about half a grain at a time. This did bite me one time, I found a good powder charge that was close to max load, and then started adjusting the bullet seating depth. The longer OAL put more pressure in the chamber, and one got a little tight. Now I experiment with bullet seating depth first, and then charges.
