[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1334884, member: 10291"] I have not tried the Hornady 143 ELD-x in my 6.5x284. I have had excellent results with a few dozen game animals taken from 200-1200 yards with the 140 and 142 JLKs at 2975 FPS. I have worked up good loads using the 143 ELDX in my 6.5CM that produces sub .25 MOA. The ELD-X seems quite accurate in my 6.5CM. They hold .5MOA out to 1000 yards. Shown is a 5 shot .18MOA group at 200 yards. I used 45.6 gr of H4831sc/Fed210M. I haven't taken any game with them yet. Have you tried Retumbo in your 6.5x284...I get superb accuracy, velocity in the 3000FPS range and single digit ES and no pressure signs. I use 58gr/Fed 210M. I would try this load working up from 56 gr if I were to test the 143 ELD-x in my 6.5x284. It has worked well with other 140/142 gr bullets I have tested. [ATTACH]79501[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
