[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1355380, member: 74902"] Think the issue with most match bullets is that they expand less, not more. This is because they use thicker jackets so the are less likely to come apart due to high barrel heat that can happen in a match rifle. Now with ELD-X vs ELD-M that might be a little different. That's because the ELD-X uses what Hornady calls an Interlock system that keeps the back of the bullet together on the ELD-X. It acts like a crimp on the inside of the jacket. I believe this is missing on the ELD-M. This might actually allow the ELD-M to expand/fragment more at long range. That is the OP was hoping for in the other thread. A big plus for the Federal ammo Kimber7man recommends too. [/QUOTE]
