    Trying out the m's tomorrow. X's were good in my rifle too. The x's produced 2890ft/s in mine so it will be interesting to see what the shorter and lighter m's will produce.

    It's my 6.5x55 (regular with no turn neck) with 29" heavy palmer barrel. I just rechecked my velocities again yesterday and found the eldx doing just on 2795fps and the m's doing 2875fps. The great bit of news was that the POI was identical (less than a click anyway).

    that sounds about right for barrel length.
    they are a very underrated chambering except for the people that own the modern rifles and not to mention inherently accurate with those high bc pills!
