Hornady 6.5 140 AMAX vs ELD M ?

[Old Corps 8541]

Are the Hornady ELD M bullets just a "new and improved" version of the AMAX bullets marketed more as a selling point , than an actual redesigned bullet ?

Where have you been the last idk, 5 years?

I wouldn't say the ELDM are new, they changed over way back...

No. Look at the BCs. Its a different bullet.

And yeah did you just wake from a long sleep or something? LOL

NO, didn't just wake up, just been seeing a lot of AMAX's for sale on different forums and was wondering about the differences ,

 

[Rob01]

The old amax was a good bullet. Shot thousands of them in matches but the eld is better. Better BC and they fixed the tip to be stronger. For a practice bullet the amax would work great but for matches it’s the eld.

Might be people who bought a lot of amax when they were phased out about 8 years ago and wanting to try something else.

If you line em up next to eachother you can see the difference and now the tips don't melt according to Hornady.
