[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1309508, member: 42308"] Interesting. Which 6.5 ELD are you shooting? What type of rifling does your rifle have? I have been finishing off a 264 win mag and a 6.5/06 and have mixed feelings regarding the 143 (ish) ELDX. After some development they will shoot .3MOA. That I won't complain about. My biggest gripe is copper fouling. I have to remove copper every 40 rounds to maintain .5MOA. I'm real close to 3,000 fps in the 6.5/06 and a little over 3,150 in the 264. I **think** I'm skeiving the jacket as it engraves, after 3" it pretty well clears up completely. I haven't captured one from far enough away to be able to have a bullet that still retains enough of its original shape to be absolutely certain of that, yet. I know several guys that shoot that bullet at <2,750 fps from Creedmoors, 260 rems, and 6.5x55 that aren't seeing near the copper fouling I am and are quite pleased with them. The majority of them are shooting from 5r style barrels. [/QUOTE]
