I know a lot of guys are using the 147 grain ELDM out of the 6.5 PRC, is there any noticeable difference in terminal performance between the 147 grain and 140 grain .264” ELDM bullets?
^^^^Bingo, I'm of the opinion that at average hunting range the 140 ELDm is the ticket in a creed. I actually wish they made a 130. I feel like the 130 Berger Hybrid shines in the creed due to this. Inside of say 600 velocity carries a big stick as all VLDs have a high BC.
Many times we get wrapped up in BC without looking at all of the Data and matching a bullet to the capabilities of the case capacity.
There might be a slight penetration difference between the two because of the added weight, but with variables like distance and angle of impact, etc., you would have to shoot a lot of animals to see any measurable difference.I know a lot of guys are using the 147 grain ELDM out of the 6.5 PRC, is there any noticeable difference in terminal performance between the 147 grain and 140 grain .264” ELDM bullets?
