I have both a bhw 243lbc and an arp 6mm predator. The bhw I've had for over 2 years now and somewhere around 1600 rounds+. It's load is an 87 gr vmax over 28.6 gr 8208 for right at 3000 fps.
The arp is new, just got it last month but it seems to like the 87 gr vmax also but I'm at 28.2 gr 8208 with it. Drops at 500 yds suggest it runs very close to the bhw in speed, needing 1/4 moa more. But that is very preliminary with only a couple of groups shot. My crony crapped out but I'll go out on a limb and say it runs very close to 3k fps also.
So far the bhw is a hair more accurate with 200 yd groups as small as 3/4" but mostly around 1" or 1.25". The arp is running 1.5" groups at 200 but haven't had near the time to fine tune it yet. I can keep it sub-moa off of shooting sticks out to 500 yards so I'm happy with it to this point.
I have some 103 gr eldx but haven't tried them yet.
