[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1671034, member: 78569"] If I'm not mistaken, the ELDs and SST are just plain cup and core bullets. So they are not recommending cup and core bullets on dangerous game because they don't have the structural integrity for deep penetration. Make sense to me. I discussed my 300 grain 338 VLDs with a friend shooting a 6.5 creedmore and he said that even if the 300 grain bullet sheds 50% of its weight, it still larger than the 6.5 creedmore bullet starting out. Thought that was a good line. This reminds me of a thread I read about the 30 cal 180 grain Nosler BTs. It stated that it wasn't intended for heavy game but since people were using it, they thickened the jackets of those bullets. They had some cross section comparisons in that thread that seemed to confirm it. [/QUOTE]
