[QUOTE="BroncBlue55, post: 2890293, member: 127479"] With any bullet you need to understand it's benefits and limitations. IMO, the ELDx is better served for longer distance shots that will allow it to expand properly without fragmenting drastically. At shorter ranges and higher velocities, you risk the bullet fragmenting too quickly and not having sufficient penetration. On the other hand, a monolithic or bonded bullet will retain more weight at those shorter distances but not expand as well, relative to an ELDx, at longer distances. Pick a bullet that shoots well in your rifle and understand how that bullet will likely expand and penetrate at varying distances. At that point, you won't curse the bullet because it didn't perform as one would have ignorantly thought it should have. A lot of game have fallen to the ELDx and i think it's a great pill. However, you can't have your cake and eat it too regardless of the bullet you choose. [/QUOTE]
