I still have 500 140 Amaxes available

I figured that they're discontinued and going to be unavailable at some point, may as well move on. Also the speeds I'm getting with the 147gr and the incredible BC gives me an extra 150 metres of >1000FTLBs if you believe in that number, as compared to my old 140gr Amax load.

Will hopefully shoot something fleshy with the ELD-M very soon and see how that goes.

Speed must be the same or thereabouts aye? 4 grains surely wont be more than a handfull or two of fps?

will see what I end up landing on but yes very close to the 143gr load seems to be effective
