[QUOTE="JimmyCP, post: 1755345, member: 106166"] The eldx has the Amp jacket like the amax. They,re better shot behind the shoulder turning the organs to jello with the hydrostatic shock. Usually find the results under the hide on on mid range shots the exit side dumping all its energy on the animal without hitting anything but a rib. I shoot the 270 with retumbo. But to get it to group it's so long it won't fit in the mag. Funny thing, some where in this form is a thread on the 225 grn sst not being acurate. I was using them on new brass because they are cheap. Started playing with them for accuracy and was kissing holes at 500 yards. Long story short, it's now the deer 1000 to 1350 and elk load out to 1350 yards behind the shoulder. Wife took a cow elk last year at 665 and spun the elk landing on its back. 86 grns left of the bullet on the exit side under the hide. I've stopped hitting in the shoulder years ago. Been using 140grn sst in the 6.5 x284 and they do the same thing out to 600 and don't punch through the ribs on the exit till around 750 800 yards. In the 6.5 x284 seen the eld match explode on the entrance hitting a rib at 380 yards. One piece of frag left in the rib meat on the exit. To soft for me at high velocity. Here's what I'm getting with the 225 sst. [/QUOTE]
