[QUOTE="North Idaho Hunter, post: 1560577, member: 73428"] Shot & witnessed many elk & deer killed with 200 gr eldx. 4 elk 2 deer. all were no exit. jacket would separate from the core with minimal penetration. All were normal hunting ranges (1 deer was 625), no real long range so we switched back to bonded bullets in 30 cal. as for ELDM being stronger construction. I did not see this to be the case for me, 140 gr hit heavy shoulder bone on a montana muley that did not penetrate past the ribs, had to follow up with a neck shot. same with the 147 ELDM on Idaho bull elk, hit heavy shoulder and did not penetrate ribs. that was enough for me to toss em! If your hunting ranges are inside 600 yards I do not see the benefit to the thin jacketed bullets. JM2C! [/QUOTE]
