[QUOTE="redneckbmxer24, post: 3033753, member: 11459"] Between those I’d use the ELD-X, they are very well made consistent bullets and I’ve yet to have a lot of that ammo that didn’t shoot well or to have a 6.5 that didn’t like it. I’ll second the deer season XP too for deee species, it’s a great performing bullet and also has been very accurate ammo for me. I wouldn’t use it on an elk though, it’s pretty frangible. I probably also wouldn’t use it for extended distances because it’s not the absolute most consistent although it’s ok for factory ammo, I’ve seen around 40fps ES on average. It’s absolutely fine for shots out to 400 yards or so. I’ve shot it as far as 800 yards on steel and made hits but it was definitely opening up pretty significantly beyond 500 or so to the point I wouldn’t trust it to make a clean shot on an animal. Really any of the standard core lokt, power shock, PowerPoint, etc will work fine out to 300-400 yards or so as long as it shoots 1MOAish in your rifle. [/QUOTE]
