[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2441511, member: 115658"] I believe Berger target bullets have thicker jackets than their hunting bullets. It's about bullet fragmentation beginning inches beyond surface of hit. Hornady ELDM's are not intended for hunting. I use the .224 75 grain ELDM on rodents and see moderate expansion on 8-pound rodents at terminal velocities in the 2000-2500 fps range. The 75 .224 ELDM's out of a .22-.250 swat down prairie dogs real good but no gory aerial effects. If I had to shoot some moderate size beast, I would use the ELDX or better yet a solid copper bullet. I prefer deep or complete penetration. [/QUOTE]
