I'm just shooting the ELDX out of my Hells Canyon X Bolt, I've had mine for good while now, and that's all that was available at the time. But Last time put it on paper she was just a hair under a half inch at 100 yards (3 shot) it shot really well! I've killed 2 bucks with it, my son has killed 2 Bucks and a Coyote so far, and performance has been Great with ELDX out of the PRC. He's kinda taking it over though šŸ˜ I Just finally mounted a scope on my 7PRC yesterday (had scope a year gun probably 10 months) gonna try and shoot it sometime this week.

I have a friend who built him one. I’m not 100% but I’d bet he’s still loading sierra’s for his. He killed a doe this season with it at 800yds.

Same here, with the same results. I'm trying to get a reloading setup put together, with the plan of trying other bullets.

I’ll be shooting 142 grain ABLR handloads in mine.

Those 142s have been great out of my 6.5 Creedmoor.

When I got mine I shot the 127 grain Barnes LRX. They shot good and did exactly what Barnes bullets do. Killed from 60-304 just fine. The eldx are easier to find around here so I swapped to them. They shoot great and performance seems a little more ā€œimpressive/explosiveā€ but that’s what it is designed to be. Eldx has killed from 27-267 with no problems. I’ve wanted to try the fusions since I’m a big fan of them in everything else just haven’t done it yet

What 7 PRC do you have? I’m thinking about getting one before next deer season.

Christensen Arms Mesa FFT. My son has one in 300 and she shoots lights out! Hopefully mine does too.

I shoot the 140 VLD and they work fine on deer while giving similar 1 hole accuracy. No magic dust... just works. Slinging them over 3k fps.

10-4 I’m hoping to get 3000 fps with 142 grain ABLR in a PRC. I’m getting 2750 fps with the 142 grain ABLR in a 6.5 Creedmoor.
