I've seen some writing of the Nosler LRABs being soft and not holding together as well as the old Nos ABs, so I looked into the Hornady ELD-X, but then I saw a review that mentioned the jacket usually separated, despite the locking groove.
Firing these bullets into large whitetail at 2800-3000, how destructive are they, and will they penetrate through or close to it reliably? Looking for some real world feedback.
Even the 129/130gr offerings should have enough BC for a solid bullet (like the old Nos AB) to do the job, but is it almost a requirement to run the 142/143gr offerings to get good penetration without messy explosions at these impact velocities?
Thanks for any real world info you can relate.
