[QUOTE="coyotezapper, post: 1532949, member: 20438"] Let me first say that they are all good bullets and I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. I think sometimes guys don't factor in some of the variables when determining performance and blame the bullet. This is my opinion from what I have seen from animals on the ground. ELD-M - Heavily fragmenting bullet much like the original Amax. Impact velocities need to be 2800 or below. Cartridges used were 243W and 7-08 ELD-X - More of a conventional design and performs like a Interlock/SST hybrid. This bullet can fragment at close range at magnum velocities. 100 yards with a 7Saum the bullet splashed. Follow up at 225 was perfect performance. Cartridges used were 6.5CM and 7Saum Sierra GC - Not a whole lot of experience with this bullet yet but so far I like what I see. It seems a lot tougher than the GK and should be better than the others on bigger bodied game. Not for sure but that seems the case so far. Perfect performance on an elk at 550. Cartridge used was 7Saum As far as accuracy they all have the same potential. I would not recommend swapping one recipe and expecting it to perform the same. Each bullet is different and needs it own load work up performed. [/QUOTE]
