Nice shootin, Zen! Do you like the performance of the 143gr ELD-X? My 6.5 Creed will be arriving at my local gun dealer in a couple of days and I'm looking for a good bullet for Mulies, Elk, and hogs.
 
143 gr ELD-X in "my experience" out of the 6.5 Creedmor will devastate most large/thick skinned N. American game. I've been using the bullet out of this platform since September and they've dropped every hog in the dirt (I've even got a few doubles). But when it comes to thin skinned coyote and deer they do not "seem" to expand properly. On most coyotes I've had to do a secondary shot to dispatch them. If I didn't shoot my deer in the neck I'm not sure it would have died quickly. Again this is just my experience.
