Im going to use my new 6.5cm on rock chucks (groundhog), and im wondering if im better off using the ELD-m bullet or the ELD-x.  I dont need any penetration, i want a grenade to go off on contact.  Or if you have other options i could load, id really appreciate any input.

If you want to "blow them up", you need a varmint bullet.  Match bullets don't typically expand uniformly, and I bet the ELD-x is designed for larger game.  I was going to recommend the Nosler Varmageddon bullet, but they don't offer it in 6.5, just 17, 22, 6mm and 30.  I loaded some of the 110 gr in 308 and it blows up groundhogs.
