[QUOTE="scdogman, post: 2741675, member: 27553"] This is a cup and core bullet. IMO any cup and core with impact speeds above 2850 to 2900 will not penetrate heavy body game. At that speed the bullet expands to rapidly. You double you range or slow down your muzzle velocity and the bullet performs better. If want high mv shoot bonded or copper but you lose BC. It’s a trade off. Inside 600 yards, shoot the bonded or copper. There are few bullets that perform well from 0 to 1200 yards. I would guess the one that do, have a high enough bc that you can run 2900 to 3000 at the muzzle and still have 2000 fps at 1000 yards. IMHO cup and core work best at impact velocities between 2600 and 1900 fps. In its advertisement for the eldx, the max impact speed of a recovered bullet shown is 2600 fps. While Nosler shows pics of the accubond over 3000 fps. There is a reason for that. [/QUOTE]
