[QUOTE="TexasSportsman, post: 1973099, member: 115081"] I called Hornady Tech Support...they said the ELD-X 6.5 CM 143gr requires a minimum of 2000 fps to expand. So this over the counter round is lethal out to 500 yards. I found similar data for the Hornady American Whitetail .30-06 150gr SP is lethal out to 450 yards it requires a minimum of 1800fps to expand. Remington Core-Lokt and Federal Power Shock the same caliber and bullet weight also requires 1800fps to expand and at the same distance of 400 - 450 yards. Most OTC ammo is good well beyond the 400-500 yard range if you're shooting steel plates because we don't care about expansion just a loud clang. [/QUOTE]
