Very interested in how this rounds turns out I'm still deciding between this and a 6.5 saum i plan on running the 156 bergers

I have some 156's also. I'm going to wait and see how the 147's do at distance. Barrel life being what it is.

Haven’t ran the ELD-M’s in the PRC, but in the 6.5CM they seemed to get erratic somewhere around 7-800 yards.
