[QUOTE="MTLIVIN, post: 1788980, member: 42384"] I have a sweet load for my 6.5x248 with both the 140 & 147 ELD-M, both right at 2930 fps with very good SD #s. I've shot 3 antelope with the 140 ELD-M and had pretty good results, but of course I've read too much on this forum and am considering switching over to the 156 EOL, even after just getting a great load for the 147 ELD-M worked up. Why? Because that's what people like us do on this forum! So, guys that made the switch this year is there a good reason to pay more for the 156 EOL instead of shooting the 147 ELD-M for fun and hunting?? This is my antelope and deer gun, but not my primary elk gun. I will use this rifle for long-range spring bear and occasional cow elk hunts as its heavier than my 7mm Mag and easier to shoot way out there. I just got some RL-26 and have H1000 & Retumbo on hand to try the 156, just not sure its worth the effort. [/QUOTE]
