Lots of good things have been said about Scott Weichel’s builds being extremely well made and very accurate. I will know in a few weeks when one of his customs lands on my steps.

The maker of the 308 Win is unknown...But, the shooter is well known to a few.

I am working on load development for the 6.5 prc. I'm using ADG brass and swift scirocco 2 bullets for now. I'll also do custom loads for each gun. Now a licensed FFL. Food for thought.

To the OP... I'm taking my PRC and the factory ELDX ammo out after elk/deer in a couple weeks.
2 years ago that bullet penetrated a few feet and bones of a large muley buck (6.5/284) and last year "iddave" shot a nice bull in Idaho w/ that bullet in my 6.5 4S. With the way that factory ammo shoots in my rifle, too close to gametime for me to want to change it up.

Yup. That 143 ELD-X at 570 yards put a good bull down within 20 yards. Good penetration, and insides were appropriately mixed up. It's stupid accurate in the three 6.5s I've tried it in.

For dies I like Forster, ask your reloader what he likes and if he uses the Lee Collet dies. You would have to cobble the Lee die together by getting a WSM body and then 6.5 mm sizer collet and mandrel.

The ELD-X will be fine for longer shots and behind the shoulder, but like you I would feel better with a bullet that works on all shots. On Elk if they are near a canyon or a fence line I can't cross I aim for the off side shoulder. The LRX or any of the premium bullets will work for this. The Nosler LRAB would be worth a try as it's shape is similar to the ELD-X so there is a chance you would get good accuracy with them too.

That seems slow. My 156 EOL load for the 6.5CM is at 2770 in a 22” tube.

I think we can all assume that is not within SAAMI spec.

Here’s a quick 10 from a Scott Weichel build. This is the Berger 140 Hybrid factory load. I pulled the shït out of the one that landed high.

Kingston--my loads are from Copper Creek Ammo, rifle is fairly new (Long Range Rifles Mountain Rifle with 24" barrel), less than 100 rounds down the tube. The first group I shot was 1/4", wish I knew how to post pics. Box says they are supposed to be going 2930 fps!
