There's a bunch of reviews on the ELMs on the YouTube space. Example: I can confirm a few things in a sec as well. I know a few guys on... -

It was only a couple of years ago and they were new then. It was a hunting variety, not the varmint. It was a 6.5 Grendel at sub-100...

It will be very close to 100fps. You’ll start 1gr. higher in charge weight and possibly end up 2gr. higher.

That’s why we/some of us start them out faster.👍☑️ Maybe not quite as fast as a 7/300 NM, but fast. Was your nosler BT experience with...

Honestly I'd start over. You can't pick up a turd by the clean end.

My son always carried 10x42 ELs, 15x56 HDs and a spotter. I made him use my 12x42 NLs for 1 day Coues hunting...he gave them back 4 days...
