    Hornady don’t recommend ELDM for hunting and if you want to know the reason, go to the 43:40 mark of the second to latest podcast. They explain why. Mainly around how the tip is connected or lack there of to the internal lead under the jacket.

    It's kinda funny cos

    1. ELDMs work great, and
    2. They sell them as having good terminal performance in their LE ammo https://www.hornadyle.com/rifle-ammu...p-precision#!/
