Wondering if people are having success with the 105 match burners? I’m running low on my 108 eldms and see the prices have gone up significantly from my last order so considering trying the Barnes. Further match range is 1400 yards but most under 1100. I’m currently running 108eldms at 2860 in my 6br using N150 but also have n140 to try.

Is it worth it to spend the extra money on the eldms or are the match burners performing for people?
 
I ran them out of a 6BRA at 2870ish. I find them a more finnicky to load and keep in tune than the 112s, but couldn't drive the 112s fast enough at the time to make it worthwhile. I ran them for 500 rounds - they held up to 1000yds in competition fine. I can't comment against the ELDMs- never used them.
