FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is ELEY Tenex subsonic ammunition?

Its published velocity range is 1,040–1,085fps, which is below the typical speed of sound under normal conditions. Actual velocity and sound level vary with the firearm and atmospheric conditions.

Is Tenex suitable for hunting?

Tenex is purpose-built for precision target competition and uses a flat-nose solid projectile. ELEY hunting ammunition is generally a better choice for field use.

Why should different Tenex lots be tested?

Individual barrels can perform differently with each ammunition lot. Testing several batches helps identify the velocity and production lot that groups most consistently through a particular firearm.
