[QUOTE="Canhunter35, post: 1461651, member: 101677"] Two reasons: First hornady says they’ll expand down to 1300fps so logic tells me they’ll really expand at more reasonable speeds. I’ve generally shot behind the front leg and bullets with lots of expansion capability have worked the best for me. 2nd reason I read a post by someone(I think it was you rich) who thought that the eldx may over expand because of the cavity in the nose that you thought they didn’t need. I’m going off memory on that one, but that sounded good to me(whether it’s right or wrong I guess I’ll find out) In my 300 I also thought it advantageous to have the interlock ring to toughen the bullet in case I hit a large bone on a big animal. Saying all that the 168 amax out of my 308 is murder on light game. With time And experience with the eldx I may switch to eldm variants, but with two moose, an elk, and a dozen coyotes I’ve been quite happy with the performance. [/QUOTE]
