[QUOTE="txaggie1, post: 2857330, member: 113838"] At some point every bullet has had a bad expereince with someone. I had a 110 grain eldx come apart in a whitetail at close range out of my 257 weatherby. The deer dropped (appeared dead) and when i climbed from my stand and half way to him (he was at 50 yards) he stood up, not going far fast but required another shot? I have had the same experience in that caliber with a pronghorn and an accubond. Moving that fast close range things happen, both animals were easily recovered. I'm a believer in hornady products, however I'm also a believer in many others. Most of my hunting rifles are weatherby's so factory offerings are somewhat limited, I've found that many of my calibers offer the scirocco line from swift and I've not had a bad word to say about them. I know people who swear by ELDX and they are accurate as expected in what i've shot. There are extreme cases like mine and others with no expansion will leave you scratching your head. The nay sayers will always out weigh the pros on website reviews, how many millions of animals were humanely taken with these bullets, hey there's maybe 100 reviews? :) I'm sure you will find them to be accurate and effective, hornady is a great manufacturer founded by hunters as many are.
