    I would use ELD-X if I were you @Tentman. I feel it is a better all round hunting bullet than the ELD-M. If I were only shooting longer range then sure, the 168gr ELD-M (A-Max) is a great bullet, but I’d prefer something a bit more staunch for sub-200m.

    But to be honest there is such a difference between 6mm and .308 that it’s not really a great comparison, what I’ve been doing these past few days.

    I’ve already decided that I want a tougher 6mm bullet for this Creedmoor rifle for use on deer in the 100-300m range. It’s got to be very fast expanding but I would prefer something that retains more weight for tougher animals. The Norma Bondstrike and Speer Gold Dot have really got my attention, there is a minor problem however and that is they are not made in 6mm... yet. I think more of the manufacturers will spot that there is a gap for hunting bullets for fast twist 6mm rifles. Sierra have the 100gr GameChanger TGK which is looking like the best candidate for me to try next.
    Just...say...the...word
