[QUOTE="duckhunter175, post: 2441412, member: 89164"] Just because the marketing team at Hornady labeled the ELDM "match" doesnt mean it automatically fails to expand and perform on game. It is still designed and succeeds at doing just that. The same way a Nosler Ballistic Tip does or a thin jacketed Berger does. It sounds like you are well versed in using "hunting" bullets but maybe you've steered away from other viable options because of the marketing and not because of any actual evidence. And you don't get to say on one hand "No way the Accubond failed, he is just a poor shot" and then on the other say "Target bullets fail even if you put them where you need to... they are all bad bullets" The only true match bullet I've steered clear of are the H-BTHP and SMKs-- both of which still have a fan following for hunting. Getting back to the whole point of this thread for the OP--- Are those 225 ELDMs able to kill an elk; yes, are they the potential best choice, maybe not-- plenty of good experience and commentary in this thread.
