    143gr ELD-X’s are great out of my 6.5x55 using RL22 and Lapua Brass. Slow at 2,550 FPS but really accurate. My boys use it and between them have shot 24 deer with that load and all but 1 have been one shot kills. The one that wasn’t didn’t really need another shot as it was out on its feet. I think the farthest has been a tick over 390 yards and the closest has been only a few yards.
