Thread: 162gn ELDX not expanding

Yeah i've had the misfortune of relying on the 162 gr ELD-X also the 168gr Berger vld both are supposed to be used and bang flop but in my case both have been at time most unreliable at best i was told that these projectiles were designed for long distance but this is not said when you buy them i have resorted back to the old soft nose fl base projectiles and find they kill very effectively my rifle is also 7mm mag i think some times the changes in bullet structure are unable to detect any positives so they presume they do certain things but it's actually unproven and probably only a sales ploy i only use i projectile now and it kills perfectly and its a Hornady 154gr sp and in my gun it kills better than all the ELD-X,-ELD-M,VLDs
combined so i'll stay with the 154gr sp for good and they're accurate also i've shot scrub bulls with this projectile and stopped them in their tracks so these projectiles are very capable
