[QUOTE="esorensen, post: 2245294, member: 4302"] Have yet to have to fire a second shot with ELDX’s in 175/7mm, and 200/.30 cal. 225y to 911y. All DRT. Antelope to elk. All bullets are a compromise. We all have factors in mind where we feel we are willing to concede some bullet performance. That said, In my experience, the ELDX is more fragile than others at closer ranges (or higher impact velocities). This trade off is for a lower terminal window; ie the 1700 fps stated by Hornady as their line in the sand where they feel it will still have measurable terminal performance. For me, acute impact angles and heavy bone are to be approached cautiously if at all With the ELDX. My opinion again is to find the most consistent and accurate load with whatever bullet weight I want to shoot, then use it knowing where I will have to place my bullet based on it’s strengths and weaknesses.
