[QUOTE="Bullseye, post: 1130004, member: 3351"] There are two new bullets. The ELD-X is a hunting bullet, built from the ground up to be an all-range bullet. It expands at lower velocities than A-Max's and has a thick shank for high velocity impacts. More details are in the whitepaper below. The ELD Match bullet is like the A-Max with the new tip. The 6.5 140gr A-Max had a 200 yard BC of .585. Turned out, 800 yard ave radar BC's were really .545 with the tip deformation that happened in flight. With the new tip, the 800 yard ave radar BC is .610 - that's a great change! Interestingly, you might expect the 800 yard ave to be .585, like the traditional 200 yard BC. Turns out, the tip issue was already affecting that bullet at 200 yards. Every manufactures polymer tips are deforming. TMK, ABLR etc...
