[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1129988, member: 13110"] I was hoping for a little heaver and higher BC but I'll try them. I don't think the ELD-X will give Amax type performance so I'm not sure how much I'd shoot them. I'd like to see the heavier bullets offered in the ELD's without the interlock. Some of them have two different BC's posted depending on the page you view them on but I'd imagine the BC's are pretty accurate if they are using Dopler radar at long range to get the numbers. The 212gr .30 with a .673/.685 BC is probably the most interesting for me and not far off the 215 Berger at .691. The weight difference will be some of the difference in BC. Since Berger dropped the BC so much on the 230 target there isn't any real benefit to them over the lighter bullets. A 230-250gr bullet with a .750+ BC would have been the real deal for the large .30 caliber magnums IMO. I like the Amax performance on game so I'd probably prefer the normal ELD rather than the ELD-X. I do think tipped bullets give more consistent expansion on game. [/QUOTE]
