6.5x47 Lapua - which ELD ?

[x_wolf]

Hi all,
I am in this situation - I've already used all my A-Max 140. Now there is some short-cut in supplements of ELD-M bullets here in Europe. Or at least in the shops where I usually order.

So, the question:
I can buy as many as I want of ELD-X 143gr.
Is it possible to achieve same precision&accuracy as with ELD-M bullets? Did someone comparison on those two bullets? Maybe in 6.5x47, 6.5 Creedmoor, 260Rem. ...???

Any info will be very appreciated.

I have found that the Amax and Eld-M shoot significantly more accurate than the x's. YMMV

I shoot the 123gr but really any of even the heaviest will work. I see lots of good reports on the 147s. 143s are being used too. Just depends on your freebore. I cant say one is better then the other though.

Can you get those ELDs that come in a yellow box and say 130 Berger VLD?? Haha, just testing your sense of humor.

130 is a real sweetheart for the Lapua, in any flavor, in my opinion.

That's been my experience also. Bergers, Sierra TMK'S, Norma GT, etc. I've been wanting to try some 130 ELD-X if I ever find any.
