[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 2837747, member: 104268"] Here's a comparison at 30° F, 29.92 inHg, 4000' elevation. [ATTACH type="full" alt="143 ELDX vs 124-124 HH Velocity.jpg"]469401[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]469411[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="143 ELDX vs 124-124 HH Wind.jpg"]469407[/ATTACH] I included the HH options with a reduced BC (-10%), as I've tested 5 different HH bullets in 4 different guns (all with appropriate or faster twist than recommended), and all had drastically lower BC values than what was quoted by Hammer. When I reported some of those findings [URL='https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/hammer-ballistic-coefficient-tests.310756/']in this thread[/URL], there were quite a few folks who expressed similar concerns. Inside 500 yds, I think all three would be great choices, but the ELDX will probably give a bit more range and certainly will dominate in the wind. Good luck with your hunt. [/QUOTE]
