[QUOTE="CaneBrake, post: 2948456, member: 127859"] Very hard question to answer without doing lots of testing with each. It depends on shot placement, what animal is being hunted, velocity, bullet construction (the parts we don't know like jacket thickness), and other variables. Just based on wild guesses, I would speculate that the Bergers that have a copper tip and a small meplat are going to be less susceptible to expansion on smaller game like deer and that's why you hear stories of such things happening. However, if hitting bone or a large animal like an elk then the Berger is going to create some carnage. The ELD-X I would guess is going to expand more reliably however if hitting the same bone or large animal it might expand too much and stop before hitting vital organs or penetrating completely through the animal. These are just the extremes based on very few characteristics and aren't a guarantee. There is a lot more to be evaluated before making a final decision. I'm sure they both do well on their targeted game. [/QUOTE]
