143 ELDX gets a big thumbs up

Recommended Posts

My youngest killed a nice coues last weekend in 34A using his 260 Remington. The 143 performed great at 560 yards. The bullet exited the ribs completely leaving a hole big enough to easily pass a golf ball thru. Deer took maybe 2 steps and folded up. I really like how they shoot and they can flat out kill deer. Wish I had a picture of the exit wound but we were to excited to think about taking one.

Good luck on your daughter!s hunt.

His brother actually edged him out by exactly one inch this year. We got lucky twice.

Thx guys.

We dropped almost 150 fps switching from 120 BT to the 143s. Accuracy was slightly better with the 143s. Current 143 recipe goes 2710 in a stock Tikka 22.6 barrel. 1 in 8 twist.

We relied on Hornady's ballistic info. Never had an opportunity to verify before the hunt. Their info was pretty accurate.
