Hello all,
anyone looking for them?

Sportsman's warehouse has some and will ship to their stores for free.
I ordered some. Let's see if they actually show up
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..

They're piling up at the local SW.
I'd buy some, but I've got a small mountain of 'em already...
I picked up 4 boxes from Graf’s yesterday at 42.99 per. Had a small selection of powder.
One of my boxes walked away Sunday...
The local SW got a big drop of rifle ammo this week that included a stacks of Precision Hunter in 3 cartridges, one of 'em the 143 gr.
I’ve been testing 143 gr. ELD-ax’s in my .260 and 6.5 CM, good accuracy in both.
They have work good for me on hogs and elk. I’ve also work for her friend of mine who shoots a Creed on pigs and whitetail as well
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.
Took an elk with one at 247 yard . Neck shot , recovered the bullet. 122 grains ! Held together very well !

Mind sharing some more details? Assuming not a broadside type neckshot if you recovered the bullet? Thanks!
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.
Bet it was an easy tracking job!
Midway has blems but you have to buy 500.
143 gr. blems
Not much to it , it picked it up and went straight over backwards !
Dang..... That's $47/100ct for blems. They sell the .284/150gr for $2 more for regular production-quality bullets. So no bulk discount, and you are paying regular price to get blems. That's kind of sucky....
I gave up on Midway due to their gouging on primers.
If I can wait, or find it on another website, I pass them by.
