6.5 Creedmoor, what is the best factory load 140gr?

[Franki]

New 6.5 Creedmoor I reload, but would like to start with factory load first. Which one is best in 140gr?

Hunting, no idea, but for target shooting, the new Nosler Match 140 RDF ammo should be hard to beat.

Agree with MudRunner. Also hard to beat the price and availability of the good ol Hornady Match 140 eldm's

Thanks, but I would use it for hunting. Any experience with the Nosler 6.5 Creedmoor ELD-X hunter 143gr factory ammo?

Thanks, I may have to reload, but would like to start with factory first and see. Not sure how accurate the factory load is? I have had some bad experience with some of the factory load before.

Prime ammo gets good reviews. I'm not sure if they offer a hunting line up though.

Man U will read that ol debate several places saying the eldm is not suitable for hunting. For several years I have taken lots of deer, sheep etc. with the ol amax bullets. Never had one issue whatsoever. I will continue to hunt with the eldm until I get a real world reason thru experience not to. Again this is just my opinion, best of luck brother

Hello I have used the 147 gr eldm factory ammo and it shoot great. I took a very large oryx with it this year and lots of deer. My dad shoots the 143 and took 9 large mich deer a few pigs and a buck in Texas. All worked well and shot very good sub .75" groups.

ELD-X shoots great in my CM.....140 ELD-M shoots the same (100 yards)
