stephentri Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Anyone test the ELD-X with the ELD-M on vermin to see what's best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveM Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Have a colleague using the 123gr ELD Match on vermin/game with devstating results. I am using the same weight at the range in my 6.5 x 47. Extremely accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter686 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 I use the 140 ELD-m on crows and Fox's and they do fine. Wouldn't fancy lobbing them about at night though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximus otter Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Norma factory ammo with the 120 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip. ½ MOA/2775 fps from my Sako 85 Finnlight off the bench; devastating on small deer & foxes. maximus otter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarmLR Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hornady SST at the minute but haven't tried any of the others mentioned so cannot comment on how the SST compares. Use it for fox/corvid and deer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally 120-130g Thanks If it’s simply a fox shooting load I’d just go 95gr VMAX. I’ve used 140 Amax extensively to control vermin but now we only have ELD-M or X. The M is a little too hard for small vermin and I also know that there’s a higher potential for runners when shooting foxes with them based on an experience a guy I know had with them. From what I’ve seen and with my intention to kill outright I’d be running the 95gr Vmax or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephentri Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Any one try the 130 grain TMK in their 6.5 I know the 77gr TMK works well for vermin in my. 223 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were accurate enough for field work but they didn’t shoot as well as Amax. The terminal performance on vermin was very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Sierra 100 grain Varminter. Very good from my CM~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caerhays sniper Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 Currently using the 120 amax in my 6.5 Creedmoor but have also used the 95s Vmax, and used the 129sst in my 260 when I had it. I might go to the 129sst when my amax run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevgun Posted March 18, 2018 Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 100 gr Amax 42.5 grains of RS52. 3134 avg FPS shoots .5 moa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarmLR Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 I use 140 SST for longer range (42.4gr RS62) but have yet to try the 95gr Vmax which might replace the SSTs for my vermin control. I used to use TMKs in 223 but they're getting quite expensive now, so I switched back to 60gr Vmax for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
