[QUOTE="Heavyiron, post: 3084259, member: 95875"] I will clear the air with this. I have used and will continue to use the interlock designs. I am not against new technology fast twist, new case design, new rifles. Where my gripe comes in is in the performance of the bullets on game. When hornady claims to be on top of the pile is with these long range bullets. I keep getting reports from my elk hunting friends on catastrophic failuers with their new designs bullets blowing up at extreme range. This is where the snake oil comes in. This is a long range hunting site and there are other bullets more worthy. Hammer, barnes, nosler partitions etc. The eldx seems to be the worst with its thin bullet jacket and blow-ups. High bc does not kill, sectional density and proper bullet design does. Using target bullets on game is a recipe for failure. [/QUOTE]
