[QUOTE="SteveBurton, post: 2156322, member: 59541"] I have rifles in both chamberings and have used the ELD-X in each. As has been stated previously, once the bullet leaves the muzzle, the cartridge doesn't matter. Every animal I have hit has gone down within 30 yards. Exit holes have averaged around 1-1/2". I used the Berger 144 hybrid in my PRC last season and the two whitetail that I shot dropped in their tracks. There was a lot more damage than with the ELD-X but I do like seeing an animal drop and not have to worry about tracking. Exit holes were around 2" and lots of bloodshot meat around them. Way more than with the ELD-X which tells me that more energy is being delivered to the animal with the Berger. If distances are going to be kept under 500-600 yards, go with the Creedmoor. I don't think the extra 200 FPS is going to make much of a difference. [/QUOTE]
