[QUOTE="BergerBoy, post: 1131354, member: 85712"] Thanks to WildRose for showing that post on Hornadys new line of Bullets- the ELD-X. I was very interested in them and started to do a little research, what little information that was out there.... According to Hornady all Polymer tips "melt" and "deform" do to heat caused by air friction and heat generated from the shot itself and the longer time of flight the worse it gets. According to them the BC of the bullet drops big time from where it should be and of course- inconsistency with a BC is bad news for any long range shot. My question is this: What about Nosler? Scirocco? Hornady (A-max) and others? All of them use standard poly tips. I wonder if this is a real issue? Has anyone ever notice anything that would support the video? I always shot Berger but just recently developed a load for my 300 wm with the 208 A-max so I will try to test this theory the best I can before winter hits. If what Hornady is saying is true this is a BIG deal concerning long range accuracy. If anyone knows Brian Litz will you ask him what his thoughts are? What do you guys think about all this? Thank you for your time. [/QUOTE]
