[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1265713, member: 10291"] After several animals taken with my 300WM using the Berger Hunting 210VLD's I decided to give the 200 ELD-X a try. The accuracy of the Bergers was excellent but medium sized animals taken at ranges to 700 yards with the Bergers gave me concern. While the animals were recovered, wound channels indicated little to no internal expansion with pencil sized entrance and exits. I loaded 200gr ELD-X's using the same recipe that I use with the Bergers; Norma case, 79gr Retumbo, 215M, .020" off the lands. Results indicate accuracy, velocity, and ES is comparable to those of the Berger 210's. I haven't evaluated long range drop data, or taken any game with the 200gr ELD-X yet. On the other hand, my hunting results to 1000+ yards with the 140 Berger Hunting VLD's and 140 JLK's in my 6.5x284's have been excellent with 1" entrance, 2" exits on medium game, usually DRT. For this reason I have not been motivated to switch to the ELD-X in my 6.5x284's, but will probably test them at some point based on the positive reviews. AVG velocity of 200gr ELD-X in my 300WM, 24" bbl, Remington 700 Milspec.- 2890FPS, 10 shot ES, <11FPS. [/QUOTE]
