[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1790414, member: 87243"] I personally won't be trying the A-Tip. I tried the 147 because of the extra energy, less wind drift, and good terminal performance reports I was hearing about it, some target bullets have been proven in the past to work well for hunting, the 215 Berger Hybrid Target comes to mind, so I thought the 147 may work good as well. Also nothing else out at the time was as good for stretching the legs on a 6.5, even the heavier matrix bullets lost out due to lower bc. I tried them, didn't like them. The 156 came out, offering the best of everything that I wanted out of a 6.5 bullet, and has worked great. Also not looking to argue, just stating my thought on it. I will say, the 143 eld-x performs very similar to the 147 eld-m from photos I have seen of the eld-x's performance, the m may fragment slightly less. I also recovered several of the eld-m's, and none had core jacket separation, which leads me to wonder if the interlock ring of the x is really neccessary....though I never recovered any bullets from very high velocity impacts, save one animal all were 400-980 yards. I think close range high impact velocities is where the ring would come into play. [/QUOTE]
