[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5869771, member: 2805"] I've never shot hornady bullets before... from what I can gather, the eld-x have twice the jacket thickness over the eld-m's, plus the interlocking ring. Both still have a very soft core. Lots of reports of the eld-xs exploding, but thats at high impact velocities. At 2800fps MV, I'm thinking the eld-xs will be superior on game out to about 500y or so, then after that, the eld-m's will outperform terminally due to the lower impact velocity and their increased frangibility compared to the eld-x's. But again, that's all just theoretical from what I can gather from research. I won't shoot a game animal past 600, and most of my shots will be in the 200-250ish range. [/QUOTE]
