[QUOTE="memtb, post: 3009267, member: 75451"] Absolutely no contest……especially if you are offered a close range shot. Though, you must make certain that on your long shots, you keep them above (at least 200 fps IMO) the listed minimum expansion velocity. The ELD X would be fine if you are virtually guaranteed a broadside shot at close range. It should be a pretty good bullet once you exceed the ranges at which the Barnes bullet will not reliably expand! This quandary presents a challenge to some folks…..for me, a ”no-brainer”! I just won’t attempt shots beyond the expansion velocity for the Barnes. Much the same as , refusing to take a steep angled shot at close range with the ELD X. Decisions, Decisions. ☹️ memtb [/QUOTE]
