    No but I used the 140gr Amax for years - the ELDM is constructed identically, simply a different form factor, and it was terrific



    I have used few bullets for my personal hunting for the last 14 years other than :
    - 140gr Amax from 6.5x47, 6.5x55, .260
    - 147gr ELDM from .260
    - 80gr ELDM from .223


    All have worked tremendously well - my future use in a future cartridge will also be an ELDM (assuming it shoots acceptable precision)f


    Of course a range of other bullets from other cartridges for other uses where I am not selecting or paying and they also generally work reasonably well.
