[6]It was developed by Hornady senior ballistics scientist Dave Emary in partnership with Dennis DeMille, the vice-president of product development at Creedmoor Sports, hence the name.
Weighing 14.6 lb (6.6 kg), it can fire Hornady ammunition; the 147gr ELD-M (a match type bullet) or the 143gr ELD-X (designed for hunting). [citation needed] In November 2018, Talon Precision Optics, of Jacksonville, Florida, bought TrackingPoint. [9]

A guide to the recoil from the cartridge, and an indicator of bullet penetration potential.
