Who's used them? I'm shooting the Hornady eldx .308.
Id like more input before I order them.

I haven't but I am also looking at them. Incidentally, the bullet I'm giving a try first is the ELD-Match 225. Has a B.C. not terribly far behind the 230 Alco. At about 1/3 the price. According to JBM ballistics calculator, the ELD-Match 225 will only drop an additional 12" at 1000 yards (28 feet vs 27 feet) farther than the Alco when fired at 2500 fps. Provided, of course, I put the data in the calculator correctly.
Like you, I'm very interested to hear from some real world experience on the Alcos. In the meantime, how are the ELD-X's working for you?

*correction: meant to type "1/2" the price.

Look on my savage stealth thread, I've only shot enough for load development and chronograph testing. I'm shooting the 220s but will go to the 212s for a higher bc and mv.

Interested in the alco and flat lines in the future when I build a custom rifle. I am using the eldx in the 260 rem and get really good results. Standardizing my high volume shooter to this due to the price per accuracy potential...getting consistent 1/4 moa a few groups even smaller. This is from a tikka, so not a super high end custom rifle, but the twist rate matches the bullet and has a pretty heavy barrel.
