Accuracy was excellent. Live testing in a couple of weeks..... If they perform well on game I'm sold. I ended up with the 143 because I couldn't find any 147's in stock, have no regrets now.

All of them performed admirably. This year I’m trying the 120 TTSX.

I am up to 16 big game animals this year using 143 eldx out of a 6.5 Creedmoor. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Have you had a chance to shoot any Bergers for comparison? 140 ELD-Ms shoot fantastic so I'm sure the 143 Xs would as well, but I'd like to try a 130 Berger as a hunting load for the 6.5.

The 147 ELD-M shoots very well in my 6.5 Creed. DF

I am still just fireforming factory Federal match loads. I bought 129 ABLRs and 127 LRX to begin to hand load. Based the choices on 30 caliber past experience. 24" WBY MOA . I am usually on my own.... Watch 'Yer Topknot!

I have been shooting the 147 ELD in my .260 and it shoots well, but I have not killed anything with it. I will have a mini-test in a few days on antelope. You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it. A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck. Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.

What other bullet do you find the eldx most comparable to, terminally speaking?
