It did quite well when I first shot it at 600 yards if you consider this group was shot from the bipod off of a picnic table. My ballistics calculator got me close enough to the bullseye that 1 click to the right and a moose wouldn't stand a chance.
I haven't had the opportunity to see if the 162 ELD Match bullet fits the same. Unfortunately, if the measurements I got from a friend are correct, the 162 grain ELD-X bullet does not fit the same. However it should still do quite well at 2600 fps which should be easy to get and it fits in his magazine.

That'll work!
I'm in the same boat. It'll be a little while before I try out the 162 ELD/ELD-X, as I still have a shelf full of the 162AM I need to whistle through before I go looking for something else. I may even give the 180 ELD a go if the form factor warrants it. I'm thinking close to 2600 fps should be do-able.
