I have "zero" personal experience with the 230 EDLX in the .338....only with a smaller caliber at similar velocities that you will likely get. At close range ....they exhibited, extreme expansion and weight loss. If you are going for larger game, and the potential for a close shot.....I'd look at something else! JMO. memtb
What kind of velocity do you suppose I can get from a 24" barrel , and I'll be hunting whitetails so not huge animalsI have "zero" personal experience with the 230 EDLX in the .338....only with a smaller caliber at similar velocities that you will likely get.

Unless you figure most of your shots are going to be beyond 300yds the ELD-X is probably not the bullet you want.I'd be happy with 2800 to 2850 bullets should be here Tuesday just got to figure out what powder to burn any suggestions I have a lot of h100v varget , rl 19 17 and h4350
I can have shots as close to 30 yrds as far as 600 yrds.
JMO. If there is a possibility of close shots.....you need a bullet better constructed for impact at higher velocities. From my "limited" data....this "ain't" that bullet! memtb
I've shot deer with the 250 sgk it's a great bullet , but just to hard of a bullet for deer that's why I thought the softer faster bullet would be a great deer killer our deer here in Pa. Are not huge body wiseVandy, I'm sure it would work on a Whitetail", even at close range. The results should be impressive! I guess that, I was thinking of it as a go to, all around bullet.....for all game, from any angle! I tend to forget that many folks use different bullets, for different game, under different circumstances! I'm not "bright enough" to manage the different scenarios. I just keep it simple....one bullet, one load, one zero! Pretty boring....I guess! memtb
