    I found the 147gr ELDMs out shot the 143ge ELDX in both my creedmoor barrels and the .260Rem. Even though its heavier than the 140gr and 143gr I found the 147gr gets higher velocities before pressure signs due to the thinner jacket and shorter bearing surface. Side by side I have not seen any difference on deer and goats. The ELDM probably has the edge over the 143gr past 400m due to the higher BC and lighter jacket.
    Currently running the 147gr at 2730fps from a 19" barrel in my Creedmoor which I cant achieve with the 143gr Eldx
