Velocity and powder conundrum

[VASCAR2]

If factory Hornady Black ELD-M 6.5 Grendel ammo shoots well in your 6.5 Grendel I’d use it for hunting if you have any. The ELD-M has been used effectively in the 6.5 Grendel as well as the 123 grain A-Max. My only concern using an ELD-M or A-Max is at very close range with high velocity. The ELD-M/AMAX do not have a bonded core and at close range with high velocity they shed weight which can limit penetration.


There are many threads where the factory Hornady 123 grain ELD-M/AMAX have taken medium size game.
