[QUOTE="duckhunter175, post: 1882154, member: 89164"] Lots of variables-- the ELDX has a thicker jacket and should provide better penetration-- the biggest complaint on them I've seen is pass throughs on thin skinned game without much expansion making game recovery hard. Take all this with a grain of salt because shot placement is the biggest factor in the bullet performance equation... and people often leave that part out when discussing unrecovered game. Type of game, distance, preferred shot location all have a part in the bullet choice equation. Here in Texas and my annual western hunts Im chasing deer, hogs, antelope and the occasional exotic so I run ELDMs (bergers and BJs in my .257). I shoot the crease up to high shoulder, except pigs (head shots). Great performance from 73gr ELDM (.223), 130 and 140 ELDM/AMAX (6.5x284, 6.5cm), 168gr Amax (.308) [/QUOTE]
