[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1486943, member: 78438"] lennyo3034 Some accuracy info on both bullets would be helpful. It's likely that poi is going to be different between the two. So having to make changes to your scope to compensate can create some problems. Like forgetting to re-zero your scope when you change loads. I don't care much for bergers other than punching paper, but I know plenty of guys that like them for hunting as well. That being said, if you can't get the eld-x to perform to your liking for the range you'd like to hunt, I'd just stick with the berger. At closer range on deer, and a high shoulder shot, the berger will be just fine. Low velocity, long range shots are where the berger tends to pencil through/fail to expand. As mentioned above, make sure your meplat on the berger isn't closed, you can use a small drill bit to make sure the jacket isn't pinched shut. Good luck!! [/QUOTE]
