[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1667375, member: 87243"] Also it's interesting looking at the measurements. When comparing the 140 Elite Hunter to the 156 EOL, the nose is only .021" longer, so very little....the bearing surface is .094" longer, and the boat tail is .006" shorter. It strongly appears they catered to the 8 twist creedmoor crowd. They had no regard for factory twist rates with the .277 170 EOL or the 7mm 195 EOL, but with the 6.5 they do. I get it, they will make more money this way, but possibly at the expense of a less efficient bullet. It should still fly well though, we will see. [/QUOTE]
