Also has anybody had any expansion issues with ELDM sub 150 - 200yards? I know the ELDX is another option but isn't the bc much lower? but may expand better up close?

Cheers

For competition shooting the 147 bucks the wind better 800m and further. I get almost identical performance out of 140 ELD-M and 143 ELD-X, so I now just shoot the 143’s for both hunting and competition shooting. I shoot both 140 ELD-M and 143 ELD-X with exactly the same loads.

I gave up on the 147’s - my rifle hates them. But the people that can make then work seem to be quite happy with it.

Availability is similar for all three - you have to get your order(s) in early. There is always less coming in than what we hope for. Depending on how much you shoot, keep a box or two extra.
