Cabela's has some online, too. You'll get free shipping for orders $50 or more. A box of 100 is $49.99, luckily I live in ANC and there are two stores for me to do in store pickup. Bonus is I get the gift card from Carr's/Safeway and get gas points. And if you order online through the Alaska Airlines website, you usually get 4 airmiles per dollar spent, sometimes more during the holidays.

Wow, those are spendy. I bought some a couple months ago at Scheels when they were having a 20% off sale. $28/box, so I grabbed 4. I was also there yesterday and grabbed 4 boxes of the Barnes 140gr match burners. Those were $29.99/box of 100. Grabbed 4 of those as well. I'd buy the 140gr SST's for $32/box in town, before I paid $50/box for the 143 eldx... The 143's are nice, but not that nice..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

They're piling up at the local SW. I'd buy some, but I've got a small mountain of 'em already...
It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.

I’ve been testing 143 gr. ELD-ax’s in my .260 and 6.5 CM, good accuracy in both.

I like the 143 for being a good crossover bullet, being a LR design that holds together okay on meat. I treat it like a slick SST or NBT.

No it wasn't. It was straight on . Went through 5 and stopped in the 5th vertebrae. I would have waited for a broadside shot , but in the area of wa st. i was in it's true spike only and there was someone else pushing/running them . I didn't have long for a shot.
