Thread: New 90 gr 243 ELD X

This is excellent news, thanks @Mooseman for spotting it. I’ve used the Sierra ProHunter 100gr for over 20yrs, and have been considering testing out the GameChanger 90gr for the benefit of the higher BC. So to have the ELD-X to test as well is well pleasing.

Quite a high percentage of my .243 shots are well past 200m out to 300m+, with all the normal breeze considerations. So I’m looking at the quoted BC of the 90gr GameChanger and thinking hmm, that G1 0.490 looks quite high, especially considering the ELD-X is quoted at 0.409. But the way Sierra quote BCs is different, it will fall to 0.400 and below quite quickly. Will be very interesting to do some drop tests with both of these bullets, with the ELD-X in 6.5mm and .308 both bullets have performed better for me than the models say they will.

The 6.5 and .308 ELD-X are proving to be emphatic killers of goats and deer (with the one exception), perfect blend of fragmentation of the top half with the bottom half punching on through. Hope the 6mm performs similarly.
