I just started to play with the Hornady 143 gr ELD-X and have good expectations.

Currently I am using the plain vanilla Sierra 140 gr Game King (#1730) and will probably what I hunt with this fall. I have no complaints at all, but my whitetail hunting is 10 yards to 200 yards.

Been playing with those since the beginning with my 260... It's as accurate a bullet as I've ever used... Accurate enough to ring steel @ 1000 yards... I'm sure you'll like them just fine, maybe even better because of the price difference.... my sweet spot for that bullet is .004 off the lands, good luck to you.

No 140 Hybrids suck ;) (quit telling people to buy up all the hybrids.... They're hard enough to find already :(:p

That's your choice but just wanted you to know that the 120 weight will work fine with an 8 twist. Just not that Fusion bullet.
And I appreciate the info.
I've got some 129gr that I'll work a load up for. I'll Let you know how it turns out.
