I suppose I could add that I've used the 143 grain ELDX out of the 6.5 Creedmoor to kill a couple of large wild sows at about 200 yards. Two quick shots both dead right there with exits on broadside hits.
I also used the 143 grain ELDX in my 6.5 PRC to dispatch a large wild boar in a trap at less than 5 yards. I was careful to place the bullet square into the onside shoulder which required that it penetrate the cartlilage shield as well as bone before making it to the vitals. Impact velocity was right at 3000 fps. The Boar was killed instantly.
Based on my experience,I think the 143 grain ELDX is a dandy bullet for most anything we could use it for. I do not use it in my Kimber Adirondack because it is only going around 2500 fps and I like more muzzle velocity out of that rifle.
