The ELD-M in most stuff has performed better for ‘controlled expansion’ than other cup and core lead hunting bullets…..few of which are ‘controlled expansion’ without some lock, fuse process, etc.
If SSTs are a copy of a NAB, the ones I’ve used in the Grendel were more fragile.
The ELDM expanded more on deer than the ELDX and still gave exits in the creedmoor for me. There’s no performance ‘rule’ based on terminology. SST's are not bonded and most definitely are not a copy of Accubonds. Look at that, a 6.5 Manbun shooter not knowing what they're talking about. I mis-typed NAB for BT per Cowboy’s post. There’s an IF in there for anyone that can read. There’s also something about worrying so much about a certain head stamp that outs some folks.

I loaded 129ablrs over 8208xbr for my kids mini howa for him to hunt with. It's a mild load about 2350 but it groups really well, usually 1/2-3/4". He was inky 10 when I worked it up so I stayed at the lower node. I took it up to about 2450 during development.
I took some of his 129 ablr loads and ran them through my 18" bhw 3 groove ar and they shot terrible in it. Probably the worst group s I've shot in years like 3 moa. So much fir being able to share ammo. My bhw ar likes 123 amax amps. There was a lot just before they changed to elds that did 1/4 moa multiple times in my ar. Luckily a local shop had a bunch of that lot that they closed out for half off or so when the elds came out. I think I bought 50 boxes so I'm still using the old amax amps.
