Also have used 147eldm out of a 6.5 for the last few years. The ELDM’s are great hunting bullets despite the marketing and BS the gun writers would have you believe.
I have killed a “few”elk in my life.

Hunters need to be aware that the ELDX has a significantly thicker jacket than the ELDM, plus it has the interlock ring, but overall the ELDX is still a relatively soft bullet- in that it's not actually fully bonded and the jackets taper in thickness. The ELDM does not taper in jacket thickness, nor does it have an interlock ring.
But each to their own
