Joining in late hear fellas, but good to see some great info.
Curious to see if any one has shot the 180 ELD-M and 195 EOL side by side?
I spent a better part of hour talking with a bullet guru at Hornady and he was rather adamant the 180 is strictly a target bullet and not a big game bullet.
But I will let the dead animals do the talkin!
They gonna talk the party line, for sure. It's not too unlike a drug rep pimping a new product. They get in deep doodoo if they get off the reservation, probably fired.
Scenars are target bullets. Check our Pat (Scenarshooter)'s portfolio of dead critters. The Bergers were target bullets until people started seeing how well they whacked animals.
I've seen it posted that the 6.5mm 147 ELD-M has better terminal performance then the 143 EDL-X. Not sure if that thinking can be extrapolated over into the 7mm class, but wouldn't want to bet against it.
Time will tell.
