[QUOTE="William Norholm, post: 1508027, member: 107711"] Agreed, which is why I bought these 100 grain Scirocco II's. The ELD-X is a great bullet. But with a 100 grain bullet with roughly the same BC @ 200-300 feet per second faster there's no need to step up to the 115-120 grain bullets. At all practical ranges the high BC 100 grain bullets shoot flatter and hit just as hard. 3300 FPS with these bullets shoots like a laser. I can't get the VLD's to shoot as accurately either. I lost a bear at 50 yards using the 115 grain Berger, there was no exit wound because the bullet blew up inside the bear. No exit wound, often equals no bear when bear hunting. The Scirocco would've made an exit wound, and at least I would've had a blood trail. [/QUOTE]
