[QUOTE="txaggie1, post: 3083863, member: 113838"] Allot of bullets out there - i'm partial to 130 grain scirocco's in my 6.5's will stand up to the velocities of my 6.5-300 and performs flawlessly in my creedmoor and all in between. Now I also shoot 130 accubonds factory ammo for my 264 and have no complaints. eldx bullets remind me of nosler ballistic tips - incredibly accurate and if your shooting behind the shoulders probably work just fine for the slower rounds or at distances with hot calibers. I've just seen to many come apart in 3000plus FPS rounds at under 100 yards. Just my experience, but if you ask enough people who tried to break shoulders with those things usually had a bad experience. Barnes is an excellent choice but the opposite of what we just talked about, they are so tough that if you don't shoot through the shoulders, liable to never find it because the bullet didn't expand. Know your rifle/bullet and your limitations and goals. For me the swift bullets are a great in between, i've blow through shoulders with respectable meat damage (meaning fairly minimal) and i've shot behind the shoulders and if i trail them either way it's been under 25 yards with and easy trail. If your looking for budget stuff, i believe you get what you pay for and ammo is the cheapest part of the hunt, look for savings elsewhere not where it counts. Premium bullets/ammo hang trophies and fill freezers, leave the cheap stuff for varmints and hogs. [/QUOTE]
