I can't answer for the 162 gr ELDX but I sure killed a lot of game back in the day with the Hornady 162 gr BTSP so I see no reason why the ELDX wouldn't be just as good or maybe even better.
That is a great bullet MAC. I've made my longest shots with the 162 BTSP interlock one year at 648 yards shooting downhill. LRF set on angle comp. Actual yardage was closer to 700. Then 2 years before that it was with a 165 BTSP interlock out of a 300WSM. Shot at 600 yards even in the same canyon. Great bullets that work very well. I'm going to start testing some 162 BTSP interlocks at 400 out of 2 of my 7mm RM rifles and see how they compare to the ELDX. If it is a wash, I'd just buy the old interlock that has worked so well for years. We will see though.. The proof is always on the target..
