Rem280 -
The ELD-X aren't the bullets I would choose for big game in high velocity cartridges, but it wasn't my choice. Daughter #1 will be using 150LRAB @2912fps in her .270.
That load just didn't work in the Savage due to lower velocity.
For the elk we will be going for in November, my preference would be a TTSX, LRX, AB, Partition or Edge TLR in 130g or up. For antelope I don't much care what gets used so long as they don't blow up on impact like an A-MAX did for another SIL a few years back.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
