Thread: Loading 162 ELDX vs ELDM ?

I used eldx in a 270wsm and had very ordinary results with them, fragmentation and poor penetration. Now using a 162g eldm out of a 708 with great results. Pretty slow at 2520fps but very accurate with good penetration.

Interesting, this is the opposite experience of @Kelton above (pencilling through).


Really interesting that various large magnums are so ineffective at killing deer with premium hunting bullets

Or the premium hunting bullets in some sizes are not as reliable as others had no issues with any of those magnums with Berger bullets or eldm
