[QUOTE="fmuguira, post: 1667821, member: 27974"] My take is the ELDX is neither fish nor fowl; if your rifle shoots them well then great; but remember they re still a cup and core bullet. At ranges beyond 200-300 yds I m not convinced that a heavy for caliber ELDM isn't just as good. If you really need a stout bullet for larger game or closer ranges then a partition, bonded bullet (interbond, accubond) or a Barnes would be more appropriate IMO. After 50 years of reloading and at my advanced age I just like a bullet that will 'tune easily'; if it won't then try a different one. A gunsmith friend says ' don't waste a bunch of time, components and incur frustration trying to get a rifle to shoot a bullet it doesn't like' !! Good advice in my mind. [/QUOTE]
