I've used the ELDX on a few elk, but back when I couldn't get a bonded bullet anywhere. I just made darn sure to avoid big bone when using them. I don't use them anymore on elk as there are other options available to me.

Just picked up Speer's bonded bullet, the Impact, but not yet used them on any big game. Same goes with a 165 gr. TTSX.

One not on your list is the Norma Oryx, which I can recommend. 180 grain or 200 grain. Just load them to the same MV as you would a Partition.
The Norma shipping container must have recently dropped because I've been seeing adds for them on the 'net.


Good luck with your choice and your hunt.


It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.
