    6.5 Creedmoor ELD-Info

    Hi All,

    Doe's anybody have some factory 6.5 Creedmoor 143 gr ELD-X Precision Hunter ammo?
    If you do, I would appreciate a measurement from the base to Ogive.
    If you can't measure this I would be happy to purchase a single round off you.
    I live near Invercargill

    Cheers

    On my travels I have seen 2.8" OAL as a rough figure Hornady use for their factory loaded 6.5CM loads.

    Do you think possibly think that a factory making ammunition would follow the original dimensions?

    I was directly quoting (from memory) dimensions I've read on forums for people that have the ammunition on hand
