Ballistician’s Notes (Wade Chandler)
We’ll report our full real-world velocity and precision data later this year after updated range testing. That said, this round has an excellent reputation, and we’ve found the 140 gr ELD® Match to be a favorite among many hunters for larger game such as whitetail and mule deer. While technically a match bullet, its high retained energy, consistent expansion, and pinpoint accuracy make it a reliable field performer when paired with proper shot placement and barrel twist rates of 1:8 or faster.
