[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1807630, member: 108965"] Forgot to mention, both can fragment and fail to penetrate at closer ranges when using light bullets at magnum speeds just like a berger, and both have the interlock ring to hold jacket and core together. Reason for using heavy for caliber with larger cartridges. Now I've never shot the Eld-X because I have too many other bullets in stock and I'm not shooting 1,000 yds so don't care much for the BC, and with the performance of the SST I havent had the need to try anything else. Haven't lost any animals and most drop in the spot if not a couple of steps and done. Haven't had to track any either. I have witnessed the Eld-X in action twice and it worked well, shots were well placed and animals walked a few yards before dropping. The biggest difference is the shape of the bullet which gives the Eld-X the higher BC. [/QUOTE]
