[QUOTE="RidgeReaper208, post: 1882705, member: 56638"] Used the 225gr ELD-M out of a 300 PRC this weekend and it was devastating on a big black bear at 300 yards. Bullet left an exit hole the size of a softball, vitals were shredded. Shot placement will always outweigh bullet selection. Hyper-static shock combined with rapid blood loss equals a very quick/painless death for whatever we are harvesting. Bear ran 25 yards and it was game over! This was the 1st time using a “Match Grade” bullet on game and I did not see any major difference in performance compared to a “Hunting Grade” projectile. Could have used the 212gr ELD-X bullet, however the 225gr ELD-M has a better B.C. and I was concerned about having to shoot in severe wind at long range for this hunt. I recognize that this thread is about the Berger Hybrid but I think that the data I provided coincides with the discussion. 😎🤙 [/QUOTE]
