ELEY ammunition has won more
Olympic medals than any other
.22 brand. It's now time for
ELEY to enter into the Winter
Olympic shooting discipline
with Tenex biathlon. Tenex
biathlon is the first
specially designed ELEY
biathlon cartridge in the
company's 185 year history.
>>ELEY engineers and
technicians have studied
bullet and chambering
characteristics between 0c
and -20c to develop the new
ELEY Tenex biathlon cartridge.
Tenex biathlon benefits from
the key features of Tenex, a
flat nose bullet profile with
superb performance and
accuracy. To improve
performance at low temperature
the diameter of the Tenex
biathlon cartridge is 0.0008
of an inch smaller than
standard Tenex. This helps the
cartridge chamber smoothly
from the magazine through the
rifle.
>>Tenex biathlon has an
increased propellant charge
giving the bullet increased
terminal energy and a greater
knock down force needed for
the biathlon target. Typically
ELEY biathlon's terminal
energy is 114 joules, nearest
competitor just 110 joules.
Tenex biathlon also has a
specially formulated
lubrication for optimization
at low temperature.
