[QUOTE="Idaho Trecker, post: 2893315, member: 67706"] As others have basically stated the eldx seem to be softer and their "lock" ring doesn't seem to do a whole lot to keep them together very well. That said my wife is 2 for 2 with the 145 eldx on cow elk at 220 and 440 yards. They do come apart more. She was using my 270 Sherman short with an 8 twist barrel. I used the same rifle on a cow elk with the 175 game changer at 740 yards a few years ago and it is a much stouter bullet than the eldx. I'd personally keep impact velocity at or above 2000fps with the gamechanger... at least the way the 175 looked after recovery. [/QUOTE]
