[QUOTE="MAGA, post: 1401154, member: 102121"] Because a hunting bullet needs to expand, but also retain wait for penetration purposes. The whole idea behind Accubonds, Ballistic Tips, and ELD-X type bullets is that the first 1/4 of the bullet has rapid, massive expansion that will typically disintegrate. The next 1/4 portion will be more of the "controlled" expansion, while the last half of the bullet generally remains intact to retain energy for penetration purposes. It's easier for the bullet to retain weight when the jacket on the latter half of the bullet is a lot thicker. With the ELD-M having the thinner jacket on the latter half of the bullet, I'd imagine you'd get a lot more overall "violence" expansion, but less weight retention. IMO, either bullet would be more than sufficient enough to take any game animal in the U.S. [/QUOTE]
