[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1438358, member: 97196"] Konrad does make a valid point. As an example, why would you choose to use the 6.5 147 eld-m over the 143 eld-x on game when the x was specifically designed to give better results on game. I think it becomes less of an issue with the larger calibers as long as they open up but the smaller calibers will benefit from a jacket specifically designed to enhance penetration especially on bone. If your rifle will only shoot the target rounds you may have to choose the lesser of two evils. All things being equal why not choose a bullet specifically designed for hunting. You may never see a target bullet fail but when you hit heavy bone at longer diatances in will become more likely vs those specifically designed for hunting. [/QUOTE]
