Any idea what the COAL is? It says to check to make sure they’ll work but then doesn’t list is

Let me get out the calipers to measure - they all fit in my magpul pmag just fine though.

I bought a case of each after testing these in my rifle.

I have a new Tikka 6.5 PRC to shoot this week, and those are the two I'm hoping it likes.

147 ELDm looking good (especially since this is less than 20 rounds down the tube). Hope to try the 127 LRX soon - none available in my neck of the woods but I have some flying in with visitors.

Sent from my buddy who got this pronghorn today. I’ve been slowly converting him over to small heavy for caliber bullets and mentality. He still had not converted his scope over yet- running a vortex LHT. Said it was off six inches at 220, and he’s already looking for a new scope.

6.5 creed
Factory 143 ELD-X
220 yards

He said the guide was talking smack about the 6.5 before he shot it. Results speak for themselves.

Was suggested to post my kill here, sorry no gory pics on this one.

T3x 6.5prc
147 ELDM Hornady load.

100yd offhand shot.

He stood up slightly canted off center and I shot him in the chest. Bullet went thru his heart and one lung, absolutely shattered his left shoulder in fragments. Exit hole was back of the armpit bigger than a golf ball. He went no more than 10 yards.

The damage from that energy was astounding (first time killing with that bullet).
