Some of the bullet exited, though?

IMO, yes it’s worth it. You just have to be slightly specific about shot placement. The ELD/AM/VLD behaves differently than a piledriving TSX, and should be treated accordingly.

Which is why I carry a mag full of the TTSX in the rifle for jump/quick close shots, with a few wind-cheaters handy for long shots that may present themselves wink

The 30 meter 180ELD on moose was more for R&D than matching the bullet to the shot.
