[QUOTE="KHump, post: 1988471, member: 104595"] I’m working on putting together a 6.5x47 over the next several months and currently rounding up reloading components. I’ve shot a very similar replica of my gun build with IMR 4166, Lapua brass, CCI small rifle benchrest primers, and Hornady 130 ELD-Match. At 100 yards I was able to narrow down to near 3 bullets in the same hole. My question is, how do these 130 ELD-M’s perform at 600 to 1000 yards vs say a Berger or JLK? And is paying nearly 50% more per bullet to shoot a Berger or JLK for fun/practice, not competition shooting, really worth it? Are the ELD-M’s good enough or are there any red flags to be worried about? Also, anyone have experience hunting deer with this bullet at various distances? [/QUOTE]
