6.5 Creedmoor 140 ELD-M bullet comparisons

[Vortex!]

I would just use the eldm it's already sighted in with. It should work just fine on deer. I'm planning to use the 123 eldm in my 6.5 Grendel this coming deer season.

The POI is the same for both but I've done some reading on two together and the POI at longer distances tend to change. So I was wanting to see if there was any 140s that would compare before I went to the 143s.

I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock in that. At worst the 143's should run slightly flatter due to the higher BC.

I've been searching for 6.5 ELD-X's and Accubond LR's and both are basically ghosts right now.

I'm still waiting on some more Peregrines and I guess I'm just going to have to slum it for a while and either buy some LRX's or Sirocco's.

I hope your luck is better than mine.

142 nosler accubond long range. Similar BC to the ELD.

bonded core, will tend to hold together better then the 140 ELDM.

Finding them right now is like hunting unicorns.

It definitely is a much better bullet, I'm still really disappointed Hornady didn't make the ELD-X a bonded bullet.

It would only take one shot to check the zero and see if there's any difference.

Doesn't surprise me that they didn't bond a match bullet

Me either, I'm disappointed they did the cannelure instead of the bonding with the ELD-X.

That was a brain fart on my part, Thanks for the catch, I'll correct it.
