The 143gn ELDX looks like THE Projectile for the 6.5 calibre. I shoot a 6.5 Creedmoor and use factory ammo. I have been mainly using the Hornady superformance 129gn SST. I recently bought a couple...

With my 20" 2875 fps with most powders and 140 grn seems the upper comfortable limit. If you want comfortable extra speed drop a bullet weight. I'm 3140 fps with a 124 Hammer. N565 powder.
