    I have heard .308 ELD-X is a bit hard to shoot close range so an ELD-M is more suited. Personally I have found the Speer Impact to be a great short - mid range bullet.

    Nah, they are a lr designed bullet, soft and should expand
    readily. In cross section they look super similar to the eldm.

    Theres been some talk about them behaving a little erratically, in some batches. rumors about some issues with the tips coming off in flight, causing a nose cavity crumple and pencilling.

    Certainly behave like a soft bullet with everything I've shot with them
