ELD is 2470 out of mine.

The 22” BHW, on the other hand, eats these things like candy...The best groups shot were measured at .736” for the Hornady Black, followed by a .646” for the American Gunner. These translate to a corrected .472” group for the AG and a .382” group for the BK.

Similar experience in my 22" BHW barrel. Shot just a couple of weeks ago at 200 yards. Granted it's only three rounds but I'll take it! All for $.70 a round.

Gotta love it when you can have accuracy, velocity and inexpensive factory ammo in one round! I only wish I could get the ELD at the AG prices.
