Most Helpful Positive Review Barnes LRX bullets
Ordered some Barnes LRX bullets for reloading. Optics Planet had them in stock when most other suppliers were out of stock. The product was shipped very fast. I will be ordering more of my reloading supplies from this site.

Hornady's top shelf bullet

by Colgate, Verified Owner from NJ, United States Written on July 30, 2025
ELD-X bullets shoot consistently good in my guns. I'm shooting these in my Tikka t3x Ace Target and have got 3 round groups in the same hole at 100 yards consistent. Love them!

Mediocre Results and Deforming Jackets

by Tex, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on June 21, 2023
Compared to Berger bullets, I have not gotten very satisfactory results with the 143 ELD-X in terms of either group size or muzzle velocity standard deviations using either H4350 or H4831SC. ELD-X bullets are also easily deformed during bullet seating by my Wilson VLD seating stem, unlike Bergers. Apparently, the copper jacket is very thin on the ELD-X at the front. In order to stop the deformation during seating, I had to reduce seating friction and force by expanding my case necks with a .264" mandrel (I use a .263" mandrel on Bergers) and lubing inside the case necks. For carrying loaded hunting rounds in my rifle's magazine and subjecting them to recoil, I prefer loading with a little more neck tension than that.
Pros:
  • I understand that terminal performance is very good with the ELD-X.
Cons:
  • Thin, easy to deform copper jacket
  • Requires lighter neck tension
  • Middling precision and velocity SDs.
Best Used for:
  • Deer Hunting
Would recommend: No

Excellent performer / Very accurate consistent results

by Garrett, Verified Owner from NY, United States Written on January 7, 2023
Outstanding bullet. Loaded up 40 rounds to try it with using Hodgdon / Hornady Super Performance Powder .Used two different powder loads, one being just below recommended max. Very consistently shoots 1/4 / 3/8 MOA with Ruger Precision 6.5 at 100 yards. Would expect it to preform very well out to a 1000 yards.
Pros:
  • Excellent performer !
Cons:
  • Can't thank of any ?

Hornady bullets are top notch!

by JDubU, from SD, United States Written on December 16, 2022
In today's economic and political climate, reloading supplies has taken a nose dive. Primers, powder and bullets are a 'commodity' that has and still is affected for reloaders, with reasons unknown. It's great that Optics Planet has jumped into the ring, and had a great price for what I was looking for.
Pros:
  • ELD-x are very accurate and perform great on impact.
Cons:
  • None
  • None for me
Best Used for:
  • Hunting long range and target

6” groups at 1000 yards

by Jeffrey E, Verified Owner from NC, United States Written on November 29, 2022
Guys, I’m primarily a deer hunter, recently I acquired a Savage 110 in 6.5 Creedmoor. Having hand loaded my ammo for 30+ years I was able to work up a load with the 143 grn ELDX and in preparation for a hunt in Nebraska, I sought out a place to shoot at distance. Found a range with steel out to 1000yards in 100yard increments. Using my Trijicon 5x20 scope I was amazed at this rifle’s and bullets accuracy. Never expected to see much less hit a target at a 1000 yards but I did. I’ve taken two deer one at 400 yards and another at 80 yards. Bullet performance was perfect on both. I’m sold on Hornady’s ELDX !
Best Used for:
  • Hunting and target long range
