[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 1153093, member: 2460"] Haven't shot any of the ELD-X bullets yet, sitting here loading up the 212's and 220's in my 300 LRH, the ELD-X accuracy would have to be on par (or better) with the 236 gr Chinchaga bullets to even consider the ELD-X's for long range hunting, at least in that rifle ! I'm sending the 236 gr bullets at 3146 fps and 1/4" groups at 100 yards, with room to work up a bit more velocity, the ELD-X 212 gr bc is considerably lower, will have to see how fast I can make them go first, even IF they will beat the 236 gr bullets.... I believe the heavier bullet with that tip will expand better at much slower velocities and have more smack down on game [/QUOTE]
