[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1130616, member: 4191"] That's a substantially longer bearing surface on the 212gr .308 ELD-X (0.626") compared to the Berger 210gr VLD (0.529"), and even more so compared to the Berger 215gr Hybrid (0.463"). Many folks report being able to launch the 215gr Hybrid 50fps faster than the 210gr VLD in 300WM class cartridges, even though the 215gr Hybrid weighs 5gr more. This due to the 0.066" shorter bearing surface on the 215gr Hybrid. The bearing surface on the 212 ELD-X is .097" longer than the 210 VLD, and .163" longer than the 215 Hybrid. I can't see how that bodes well for 212 ELD-X MVs. That longer bearing surface will put the damper on 212 MVs, compared to either Berger bullet. A bit worse yet, the 220gr ELD-X bearing surface is 0.730" I like tipped bullets, but I'll wait until I see what MVs folks are able to safely achieve with the ELD-Xs. [/QUOTE]
