Thread: 6.5 143 ELD-X, are they THE 6.5 hunting bullet?

A cracker day to get out and verify some load data.
The 10" mild steel gong (8mm plate) was set at 550yrds, @tikka6.5 using 6.5 Creedmoor with 142LRAB and myself with 143eldx in PRC.
The impact velocity for the 142LRAB @2000fps and the 143eldx @2190fps. The 142LRAB made some impressive holes but did not penetrate like the 143eldx. What was strange is how the jacket of the 143eldx peeled off as it penetrated.
I guess a animal will not stand a chance with either of these fine projectiles with good shot placement.
