[QUOTE="AaronSkipDavidson, post: 1156357, member: 6373"] After playing a big part in the Long Range Hunting industry for the past 10 years, and shooting a hollowpoint bullet personally at over 100 animals, and witnessing more than another 100 first hand, I can claim a significant body of experience. For the past three years (which coincides with the date I proposed a new, tipped-VLD bullet to Hornady), we've worked and waited for a new bullet that would eliminate the fringe failures we have seen in terminal performance. We have over 30 animals harvested with the new ELD-X, and we've shot approximately 1000 rounds with several of the bullets and so far, I am very pleased with the result. Initial benefits we've noted: Less vertical dispersion than untrimmed HPBT. More consistent expansion--not tumbling--expansion. BCs are essentially dead nuts within typical gun to gun variation. Questions pending: Does the interlock ring yield consistently better penetration? When do I get my big orders? And, guys look at Hornady's pricing. I feel like they are one of the most consumer price conscious companies out there. [/QUOTE]
