Looking at the latest crop of 6.5mm long range hunting bullets . . . what holds up to high speed impacts?

[QUOTE="Hornyforracks, post: 1990371, member: 115611"] 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 [I](like the old Nos AB[/I]) 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. [/QUOTE]
