Thread: Guess the MV of the TMK 130gn

I'd stick with the ELDs, 2885fps from a standard 6.5x55 is pretty darn good.

If the new listed BC for the 140gr ELD-M is in fact .646, then I don't think any of the 130gr offering are going to better it, although they may come close enough for you to not be bothered by it.

Isn't that funny. You get less elevation clicks but the same windage.... so 1000y is the crossover point which the eldm is catching the Sierra 130gn. Interesting.

Here's the next question: Would the ELD-M catch faster crosswind from being lobbed higher than the flatter flying Sierra? I've heard that wind speed picks up about one mph per meter of elevation (from what you test on the ground)
