I think I came across as a bit of a smart ass above. It was really just my own response to my experience with the 145 ELDX in 270. For years I shot nothing but 150 Partitions for everything which made for an all around load for deer, antelope and elk. Over the years that load took over twenty antelope and several deer but ironically, no elk.

Last year I loaded up with the ELDX but shot only a coyote with it with a straight on shot at about 20 yards. It blew up in fairly spectacular fashion. The Partition would have made a full pass through and exit.

Accuracy of the ELDX in my rifle did not live up to the billing. Probably because the sleek shape and length left it a ways off the lands when loaded as long as the magazine allows. Accuracy wasn't poor, but didn't come up to what the Partition did.

I didn't really say all that stuff......Confucius
