I called the Hornady Tech line last week about the 212 eld-x from my 300WM. The tech advised that for impact velocities to 3k one should expect 24-26" of penetration in ballistic gel with 65-70% retained weight.
Hornady published tests with the 200 gr eld-x vs other LR bullets and got similar results.
That's a straight line of bullchit. 178 and 212gr bullets at 3100fps will go vmax on deer, sheep, hogs.
