143 gr ELD-X are what I'm planning to use in a 6.5mm project I'm working on. It'll be a while before I get the rifle together. I'm hoping to see some reviews of how they actually kill stuff before then. I know they're new and haven't been used much yet. I'm just keeping my eye on internet discussions involving these bullets.

My uncle gave me a box of the 212's for my 300 win since he figured out his 300 win. He tested the 200s and got a group that was about 1/2 inch.Then he got a box of the 178s and the group shrank even more. They seem to be really easy to get to shoot well. He tried the 19 ABLR and they didnt group as well for him even after working different powders and seating depths. The ELD-X seem to be quick and painless.

I did some load testing with my new 300 WSM, using the 200s. 3 shot groups at 100 measured from .23 - .7 MOA. I'm going do some more load development and move back to 600 next time.

Very small sample size, but I'm impressed so far.

I ended up acquiring some 200s and tried them in my Accumark .300 WM. Tried the Australian equivalent of H1000 and had nothing but dramas trying to achieve accuracy. Best I could manage was just over 1 MOA at 100 meters (110 yards).

Switched to RL22 and presto. Bad groups hover at 1 inch. My chosen load consistently prints between .4-.6 MOA. Going to skim bed the ally bedding block and see if things improve. Seated 20" off the lands.

You might consider seating them 19.98" closer to the lands to see what happens....
