I have a Savage 110 timberline in 280 ai. It's shoots factory Nosler 140s fair, about 1 inch groups, 155 Federals a little tighter, 3/4 ", Nosler 160 accubonds pretty good, 3/8", which is what I'm hunting with bc I have the most of ammowise. But my friend gave me 8 rounds of Hornady ELD-X 162 gr precision hunter and WOW!!! Shot first group of three and literally one ragged hole you'd swear was only 2 shots. Didn't believe it so I had to send 2 more downrange and again one hole!! So now I'm holding 3 of those rounds like they're the last bullets on earth, why?
I don't know. I have friends that are reloaders so I guess I need to find out Hornadys info. So is it the bullet weight or is it the fps that's the cats meow for my rifle? And I know these accubonds are devastating on everything they've touched! Are the ELD-X bullets good killers too?
