The latest 143 ELDX results. 2600 fps impact on a cow elk, recovered in the offside hide. She ran 25 yards after the shot and piled up. Same results on everything up to moose.

ETA - second picture includes a 143 ELDX recovered in the offside hide of a bull elk, 2950 fps impact. Third picture is both recovered bullets together. Moose bullet was not recovered, 2500 fps impact with a complete pass thru. Lowest impact velocity I have seen the ELDX down to is 2100, same results.

Bone Frog has the Federal Tactical 140g TMKs in stock
Thanks for this, got some en route. Have only shoot ~100 rounds of 147 ELDM on my chopped 18" Tikka with can, and been wanting to find a good source for factory TMK load. Averaged 2497fps previously which is 1803fps @ 600yds, so looking for a little more padding to be comfortable with this as my <= 600yd gun. Next...more practice so I the shooter am worthy.
