[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1271976, member: 13833"] I have had excellent results with the A-Max, and the ELDM is just an A-max with higher b.c. I plan on using them in my 6.5SS, and I am not too sure that they may not be better than the ELDX? I will test them both together next spring (the 147 vs the 143). I have never had a problem with getting the Amax to expand at ranges farther than we will probably use them. Because the lead comes clear to the tip on the ELDM, it may delay expansion just a little over the ELDX which has a pretty big hollow cavity. The ELDX has a little thicker base, but that does not come into play until the bullet has expanded half way down the jacket. The crimp in the ELDX is almost non existent so does little to really having much affect on holding the jacket/core together, and tests have proved it. I have disected them it it appears to be no more than .020"-.030". Bottom line is, I think the ELDM may be my choice ahead of the ELDX. We will see after testing......Rich [/QUOTE]
