NEW Hornady 6.5 Grendel 100gr ELD-VT Factory Load

[BluntForceTrauma]

Was reviewing the new Hornady 22 ARC info when I saw they're also releasing a 6.5 Grendel load with a new 100gr ELD-VT (Extremely Low Drag-Varmint/Target) bullet. See Hornady's YouTube video at 7:00 HERE.

More specific info on Hornady's website HERE.

Pretty cool!

Any bc numbers? If they match or exceed the sierra 105s then I know what I'll be playing with next.

With the higher BC, the bearing surface may be longer than other 100 grainer's (longer bullet). So may have to wait and see what kind of MVs we get.

The listed bc is better than the sierra 105s. Im interested now.

... which is of course all fine w/ me, I'm just speculating. But the ogive/boat tail work would do it.
So... what do we call this, a face-lift and butt-tuck to the ol' 100? Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if this will be appropriate for defensive use in a 10.5" barrel. Will the low velocity prevent over-expansion and shallow penetration?
