[QUOTE="Longshotjames, post: 1737304, member: 91374"] I use the 225eldM in my custom chamber 300wm because the BC is SO much higher. Even the 212eldX has a higher BC than the 220. I have tested the 2 above bullets in lots of things including water jugs, numerous whitetail, pigs and 2 elk. Also seen 2 elk shot with 178eldX from 30-06 with good results. They all preform similar as a fast expanding bullet regardess of X or M jacket design(expands very similar to the Berger VLDhunting). I would use them with confidence that if you put it in the chest cavity they elk will be lucky to take a step. Even if you need a hard qtr shot the heavier wieght of the 212,220 or 225 will get the job done. Like you stated above I think they preform best at impact velocities from 2400-1800fps but still expand well down to 1600fps. my close shot last year was 189yds on an elk broadside. the 225eldM went through both shoulder blades, the lower spine and still exited with a 2800fps impact. DRT to conclude, close range(under 400yds) I would aim for soft tissue just behind the shoulder but If I need to break bone I am not scared to unleash one. They are a great bullet preforming well at a high range of velocity James [/QUOTE]
