From what I've read the ELD-X's work just fine close or far as long as impact speed is less than around 2900-3000 fps. It won't be a problem in your rifle.

FWIW I've been working with that bullet in my 308. I'm getting 2630-2650 from a 22" barrel with outstanding accuracy. It shoots better than Accubonds for about 1/2 the price.

If I were shooting a 300 magnum I might lean toward the Accubond as it will hold together better at close range at magnum speeds. But in your 308 I'd think it is an excellent choice.


Most people don't really want the truth.

They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
