[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1699516, member: 9308"] Respectfully, extended range wasn't what he had in mind... That's not to say anything 'bad' about the Bergers you are advocating. They are a fine bullet for longer range shots due to their high BC and ability to expand at low velocities. But they are not a controlled expansion bullet; just cup-and-core. Shooting a 6.5 PRC at elk, he needs to tip the odds in his favor using a bullet that will hold together and penetrate. That gets us to bonded core bullets, partitioned bullets, or mono-metal bullets, all of which will do fine at the max range he indicated. But we agree on the ELD-X! Not a good choice for this application. [/QUOTE]
