    The ELDX sorts out big reds and Sambar no problems, hit them right and they will drop.

    @Flyblown could you re share the link to those videos? I’m trying to track them down but can’t find the buggers. Wanting to share with my mate who has just bought a 6.5 Creedmoor.

    Hi @gimp any particular reason if any over 143’s?
    I’ve only used the old 140’s and these new 162 Eldx.
