Title: Re: Long Range Chances
Post by madsenshooter on Mar 12th, 2019 at 3:56pm
Looking at the ELD on Hornady's website.  It appears they've gone to a form that is less of a secant ogive bullet than what Hornady bullets normally are.  I've been doing some comparision across different calibers, secant ogive vs tangent.  Secant ogive bullets appear to me to more accurate.  It also seems to me they group higher and to the left of the POI of tangent ogive bullets of the same or similar weight, with similar loads.  Oddly, the Sierra Tipped Matchkings in 30 caliber are now more of a secant ogive design. My K31 loves the 168gr seated to just touch the rifling, but it's the only 30 caliber I have wherein it will do that.
