[QUOTE="stonehands1, post: 1764687, member: 88929"] I've mostly used the 225eldm. Whacked a whitetail and muley at 860 and both were drt and pass throughs. Also wacked a muley at 50yds. Needles to say it was a pass through and he was definitely drt. Last year whacked a blacktail at 1400 and he was also drt and a pass through. All had great wound channels. Recently a bull elk at 400 one behind the shoulder one in front and neither passed through but both were at the hide on opposite side. Structurally the bullet was intact but most all lead was gone. Wish I could have found the bullets on the deer to see what they looked like at slower speeds. The 860 muley was through both shoulders so it definitely not exploding/splashing per say. I've had Berger vlds come completely apart at 150yds and not penetrate a deer more than 6 inches. I wish Hornady could get them 225eldms to retain weight better because its both my rifles favorite bullet. Would use the 212eldx but worry that it would expand to quick at short range. Probably fine at long range but 225 has better bc. I wish Accubond had a 230 grain bullet for my 30 cal. They seems to lose a lot less weight with there bonding process. Gonna give the 210ablr a try next and see how the do. [/QUOTE]
