[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1227327, member: 30902"] The Hornady ELD-X, Nosler Accubond and in the Accubond LR they have 190 and 210gr offerings. I'm not a big fan of the terminal performance of the Berger's but they shoot very well for a lot of people. Terminally though they have proven to be rather inconsistent with many penciling through and many shelling out completely with little or no penetration. I know several guys I respect a lot though who swear by them and have never reported a failure to expand properly. They also tend to be pretty temperamental when it comes to handloading and seating depth. There's very little real world terminal performance on game data available so far on the ELD-X but what little there is I find to be positive. For the Noslers, the Accubond is one of the most proven bullets ever produced and consistently performs well on game within the recommended velocities. I had no problems out of the Accubond LR's that I've used so far but like many others I found their highly inflated BC's rather offensive. They shot acceptibly well for me in 7mm STW's, 300wm's and 300Rums (I have several of each) but really see little improvement in them over the original accubond other than they will expand better at long range.
