[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1360556, member: 33159"] The ELDX is a bad mutha!! Shoots great out of my 6.5-284 Norma. Hammered a nice bull elk last month with the 200gr ELDX in my 300 WSM. Bang, flop!! I like the Bergers, but you better be shooting for lungs and not hit bone. I've had a few friends have them fail on them (pencil in/pencil out) and will never shoot them again. I talked with one of the ballisticians at Berger and he told me that their bullets perform best between 1800-3000 fps and work best on soft tissue/vitals, so don't try a high shoulder shot. There's a reason the Gunwerks guys switched from VLD's to the ELD-X's. Great BC's and great performance on game [/QUOTE]
