[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1517528, member: 74902"] I'm thinking the jacket alloy may be different. The ELD-M might have a harder jacket. Ya know how the main difference between a Berger hunting bullet and a match bullet is the match bullet supposably a thicker jacket so the match bullet stays together better during long strings of fire in hotter barrels? Also, if you look at the diagrams on the Hornady site, looks like the jacket at the tip of the ELD-M might be a bit thicker than the ELD-X. The ELD-X seems thinner in that area to promote expansion. Even looks that way a bit in the pic above. [/QUOTE]
