I've never heard of her.

I would never carry around two different loadings. Just pick one. Your over thinking it.

I've had great results with 143eldx 140 and 147 eldm in every 6.5 creed I've owned.

Who is John McAdams and why would anyone listen to what he has to say about bullet construction?

He’s a pretty well known podcaster and has done extensive episodes on cartridges and bullets. He also coordinates hunting trips to Africa and makes recommendations as to what cartridges/bullets to bring.

I’ll be hunting all of the animals mentioned this season with a 130 TMK.

The 147 ELDM has worked well for me close and far on animals.

Also does he mention “wallop” as a killing mechanism?

Yep, I stopped listening to him after Form was on Exo podcast. Funny how some of those podcasters are changing their tune to speak about velocity instead of wallop lately….

When in doubt a 140 accubond is never the wrong choice. Best wishes

His stuff is pretty interesting. I would say he doesn't really mention ft lbs of energy.

I guess this is my answer! Still reading through more of the thread though.

I am selling a bunch of each. I did some 10 round groups and found all to shoot great (1-1.2”)


I shot 147 ELD-m last year with no complaints. 2 critters, 2500fps impact and about 1850fps impact. No complaints and both died within 50 yards.

Down to the last box now. Had some smaller quantities of 143 eldx and 140 EH on hand but Tired of changing loads every 500 rounds so selling most of the misc stuff I have and getting enough of one bullet to get to 3k rounds on this barrel.

140 eld-m were cheapest in bulk so I’m selling the rest now if you settle on 143eld-x or 140eh

If he doesn’t take em, I’ll buy all your 143s

Give the 130gr CX a hard look.

My gun doesn't like the ELD-X or Elite Hunter bullets, so I'm sticking w/ the 147gn ELD-M bullets. I was hitting targets at 1k yards this past week w/ this gun in WY at a long-range mountain shooting school.

You’ll be good to go with the 147s. They kill well.
