Rimfireboy Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I used to get good results with eley HV hollowpoints, eley dropped them a few years ago, but now it's seems they're back. I haven't found any in the shops yet though, so wondered if anybody on here has tried the new ones, and if so, how they performed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jam1e Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Don't quite understand your question bud. :-) Apologies. I presumed you had tried the "old" ones that they stopped making, and had tried the "New" ones, when they started making them again, and found a difference?

steve_b_wales Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 According to their advert in Gun Mart, Eley are releasing this ammunition in April. It's stated that this will be the first and only black rimfire hunting cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangbangman Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 The case has a sexy black coating that enhances performance 10-fold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope they're as good as they used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sterling Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Well for all those of us who've been crying out for a tactical all black rimfire round designed for use against prarie dogs / meerkats, Eley have finally answered our prayers! In all seriousness though, the old HV HP were reliable and accurate rounds, albeit with tiny, inconsistent hollowpoints but at least now I can shoot my last few without feeling like the end is nigh.

Kalahari Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 The RWS HVs might suit. David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfireboy Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 The RWS HVs might suit. David. Yes, I find them good, but just not quite as accurate as the eleys for me. Very close though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
