    On the applied ballistics website it said Litz have revised the BC for the 140 Amax and now have it as G1 .563, which is where my confusion comes from as then reading some of the threads on snipershide etc a lot of guys say they don't perform using .563 or .584

    Amax and .563 works for me out to as far as I have shot in both warm and cold conditions.
    My rifle does not like the 143 ELD-X which is a shame.
