Bullet

I am thinking this is a 145gr ELD-X after reading the fine print.
What says anyone?

At first glance I though maybe it was a special run 145gr mono of some flavor.

I’d say it’s an ELD-X. I’ve bought SST’s from Midway this way and while the bad showed a gray tip, they showed up with red tips and are in fact SST’s.

Definitely not an 145 ELD-X based on the picture. But the picture could be wrong. My bet is Midway attached the wrong photo.

With the relief grooves, I’m thinking that picture is of a CX. But not 145 gr. Likely 130gr.

I just found it interesting. Saw the picture and though some company had possibly came out with a 145gr mono. Had my hopes up for a second.

Monometal look

If you look at the reviews, most say these are 145 gr. ELD-X’s.

ELD-X. I bought some .308 178 Factory Seconds that had the correct picture and after I got them, they changed the picture to look like a GMX. They changed the pic on the 145 too, I was thinking of ordering some then but didn't.
