Thread: ELD-M over ELD-X Why?

Hey guys I notice a lot of people on this forum recommend the ELD match for deer over the ELD expanding.

I realise that the match bullets generally speaking have better BC's and therefore may be more accurate over range.

But why not use the expanding models that have been purpose built for shooting game?

Are the ELD-X too hard?

Don't the ELD-M blow up at close range?

I shoot a lot of goats with target pills (SMK, TMK, Amax, custom comps) and find they work well due to the lower body weights and anatomy.

I have shot one or two deer but have yet to try these with the exception of one animal with a 212 ELDX in a 308. I have both types in 7mm to try when the SAUM arrives.

Not trying to have a dig at anyone, just trying to understand the logic.
