[QUOTE="Deleted member 25294, post: 1653237"] Eldx bullets are good but they are not a substitute for bonded. My buddy shot a big bull at 280 yards with a 143 ELDx last season, first shot hit rear shoulder and the bullet completely fragmented against the bone and failed to penetrate. Luckily he got a second shot off and lunged him right before the bull hit the timber. He almost lost a really nice 6x6 because he didn't think a bonded bullet was needed. Don't chance it! There is absolutely no reason not to use bonded bullets on elk for closer ranges. I put a bull down at 200 yards with a 140 partition right through the heavy shoulder bone a few years ago, it broke the off side leg bone and lodged in the joint. I guarantee you a non bonded bullet would have failed.. I've seen it [/QUOTE]
