Is the eldm a reliable choice for hunting? Ive always thought the match bullets didnt expand enough. I have however killed a truckload of deer with the 162 amax in 7mm. And as far as im concerned that little pkastic tip doesnt mean crap if it melts. Every one of mine is deformed from jamming a long bullet in a short magazine and ive not noticed a difference out to 500

Pretty much nobody makes a bullet these days that isn't suitable for deer, unless it is marketed as a varmint bullet.

I've killed a couple elk and a couple antelope with 147's. Pretty significant expansion, killed them dead. 139 Scenar is still my favorite 6.5 hunting bullet.

I haven't seen the 143 ELD-X listed anywhere either as a component or a factory round. Did I just miss seeing it or is it still around. In hornadys precision hunter ammo. But 6.5 creed amd 6.5prc.
