They'll work just fine
When I carry my .22 creed, I shoot the 80 gr vld target and they kill em just fine
When I run out of these 80s, I'll be switching to the 80.5 that you're using and I have no doubt they'll work just as well

Killed deer and coyotes with the 80.5 with 22GT and 22-250. Very accurate bullet and performance . Hornady 75-88 EldM also very accurate bullets that I prefer. Never had anything from coyotes to elk walk away from an EldM in all weightes.
Any reason why you prefer the ELDMs over the Berger's?

A few things. Cost and availability. ( For the record though, I have killed several elk and deer with ATips so the cost kinda evens out sometimes) . The killing performance seems to be a bit better but not astronomically different. Never had anything walk away from an EldM\Atip . I've seen a few big critters walk away from Berger 168, 140, 215, from all good marksman. I've spent a fair bit of time with several Hornady employees over the years and it's all positive about the company.
I wouldn't feel " under gunned" with a Berger. Both companies make great products. Both companies support the shooting sports industry VERY MUCH SO.
Ok thanks. Makes sense
