I never have and never will have anything negative to say about Hornady products. Again, what's your point ?
Seriously Kurt, I think you had best bone -up on some of the basics.
Re-read your tag line.
Obviously you need help with the tables.

In table one it shows that the 143 ELDX still has its terminal performance at 1800 fps. In table two it shows the 6.5 Creedmoor launching a 143gr ELDX out of their factory ammunition still is moving 2030fps at 500yds.

Now I'll help you put table one and table two together. When you shoot a 143gr ELDX out of a 6.5 Creedmoor, the velocity at 600yds will be right at 1800fps, and going with the specs given from Hornady, the bullet will still be traveling fast enough for the bullet to still have terminal performance as claimed by Hornady.

It works out on paper, and it works out in the practical.

You don't believe what you see on YouTube when the guy flattens an elk at 600yds with the Creedmoor. You don't believe what Hornady claims about the 143gr ELDX and the 6.5 Creedmoor, but for some reason I'm the one who has to bone up???

Bahahahaha!!! Why am I not surprised.
