SCORE!!! 140, 143, 200, 208 and 212 ELDX and ELDMs in hand!

[Michael Eichele]

Stopped into my local candy store today and scored some of each. The 140 6.5 at first look appears to unchanged other than the tip. The 143 is a sleek sucker. The 212 looks like bad medicine for long range elk. The 208 looks unchanged as well but I'll know when I get home and measure.

Left to right:

140 AMAX, 140 ELDM, 143 ELDX, 200 ELDX, 208 AMAX, 208 ELDM, 212 ELDX.

The bearing surfaces are slightly longer on both ELDMs compared to there 1st generation AMAX counterparts. Possibly just manufacturing tolerances between lots? .011 for the 140 and .018 for the 208. Overall lengths are within .001" of each other.

Are these bullets a better design for the A max?

Mid winter it's the small victories that get us through.
