[QUOTE="dennisinaz, post: 1773917, member: 40966"] Whomever sectioned these bullets did it with an agenda. They didn't section the 'X' in the middle so you are not seeing a fair cross-section of the jacket but rather an angled model. These deceptive photos not withstanding, the X does have a tapered jacket and seems to have better retained weight and penetration. The BC is higher on the 'M' style bullet though. I have killed a few things including bull elk with the 143 ELD-X from my 6.5-284. All mine have exited. Most were either DRT or only a few steps taken. Bergers started out as match bullets and guys were having great luck with them killing well too. Berger got a bunch of us to test them out and they concluded the pointed bullets allowed enough delay in expansion that they performed very well in medium game. The build the heavier jacket version when guys were pushing them too hard in magnums so they would stay together. [/QUOTE]
