[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2569474, member: 106845"] It really depends on what you think your lowest impact velocity would be. You still have sufficient sectional density with that overall you won’t experience over-expansion even at closer ranges, but also with either, I’d not take a shoulder shot if your impact velocity would be above 2600fps. Instead, tuck it just behind the shoulder, just in front like in the brisket, chest, etc, depending on how the animal is presenting itself. If you think you’d have a good chance of needing to take a shot where your impact velocity with either would dip below 2000fps, especially below 1800fps, I’d go with the ELDM, and honestly I’d prefer the ELDM overall.
