Thread: ELD-M's

The eldms terminal performance varies for caliber to caliber and is entirely dependent on weight IMO.
I have found the following;
168 30 cal in a 308 is an excellent performer
180 7mm in 7mm Blaser Magnum (3090mv) also an excellent all round performer
147 6.5 in 6.5 prc (2990mv) is absolutely shit! Explodes on impact and makes a terrible pop noise when it hits. Totally destroys meat.
Comes down to weight and speed and practical performance. I am sure this is not everyones opinion, but it is mine
I have shot a good number of animals with the above calibers and the eldms at various ranges 50 yards to 675 and that is what I have found.
Go out and try for yourself

Will say the 140eldms in a 260 doing 2770mv have been outstanding and probably the best combo I have tried. Not shot much with the 168s out of the 308 but hope to change that
