[QUOTE="Saskquatch6, post: 2893340, member: 58704"] Thanks for the replies guys - my max range on game is 500 yds occasionally stretched to 600, but usually quite a bit closer. I've had some of the softer bullets from various makes grenade on entry on some close shots and the BT would fall into this category. So I work up loads with them and then fine tune AB loads for game. I've found AB's to provide the combination of expansion and penetration (and good BC) I prefer - so would like to find a replacement with similar performance. My only experience with the Gamechanger on game was a 130 from my 6.5x55AI, but it was a close neck shot and not really an indication of how the bullet would perform with a heart/lung hit. Based on comments above, it sounds like that in bullets of approximately same weight the Sierra might provide performance closer to the AB than the ELDX? [/QUOTE]
