Cartridge OAL for Hornady ELD-M 120 and 123

[HOPSTER]

Hi folks,
I am trying to get ready to test some loads to find the "perfect' load for a Bartlien 920 6.5 grendel 20" barrel. (AR15, from PF)
I have ordered Lapua Scenar 108's and the Hornady ELD-M 120 and 123's.
I can't find any published data on C.O.A.L. of the ELD-M, and since I have already spent for a previous Hornady Handbook, I don't want to have to buy it again just because they added a new bullet line.
Also, I welcome any suggested load ranges.
Powder to be tested will be TAC and 8208XBR.
Brass is Lapua with flash holes enlarged to .081".
Wolf SRM primers.

I can get by without the Hornady load data but I certainly need to know the COAL for the 120's and 123's.
Thanks in advance.

DC

Factory Hornady Black ammo with the 123 is 2.245. Someone with the Hornady manual #10 can chime in with the 120 ELD-M COAL

The tenth edition Hornady manual shows a COL of 2.245" for all of their 120 and 123 gr bullets, including the ELD-Ms and I don't see any changes in load data from the previous edition. By the way, the manual shows 2.245" for every bullet listed except for a 100 gr SP. That being said, I can't load the 95 gr V-Max that long.

Thank you for the replies. I found the Hornady 10th ed. on Amazon Kindle for twenty bucks so got it.
I am so glad I did not buy the hardcover !
They stated that they tested powders "appropriate for the listed bullets" but left out some of the best powders, such as 8208XBR.
My Grendel bolt sheared two locking lugs for no apparent reason, so I have to wait before testing the new bullets.
PF is going to warranty the bolt, claiming that it was from an old batch from Les Baer.
Gun never ran hot loads other than PF 123 scenar factory loads, so he says I needn't worry about breaking another one when I get the new bolt.
(The new bolt is promised to be stronger).
It will be a couple weeks, then hopefully I can run some load tests.
I will post the results here, since there is little or no info posted yet on the ELD-Match bullets.
Thanks again,
DC

I bought some creedmoor 6.5-120 loads before realizing they won't shoot well in my gun, so I pulled them apart for the pieces. So I've got ~40 of the ELDMs but haven't decided how to reload them, probably do some in my Grendels. I'll watch your progress here for these lil guys.
