[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1207058, member: 13833"] Not necessarily. You can start the 143 with a higher muzzle velocity and the b.c. is SLIGHTLY higher at .316 vs .310. I think it depends a lot on the individual rifle as to which one you shoot. Both bullets work very well in my 6.5's. The ELDX will likely expand better at the really long ranges, but the Matrix gave me really good penetration and tissue damage at close to mid range. I think after some more game is taken this year, people will be able to make a decision as to which one they like. I know I like the Matrix because we have taken game with them......Rich Here are the numbers between the 2 loads that I listed at 1100 yards: 150 Matrix.....mv=3104.......drop=24.0 moa.......drift at 10mph=5.0.......velocity=1813......energy=1095 ft/lbs 143ELDX.......mv=3190.......drop=22.3 moa.......drift at 10mph=4.7.......velocity=1900......energy=1202 ft/lbs [/QUOTE]
