Have tried a box of ELD Match 178s, couldn't make them shoot, same recipes as the Xs they just didn't shoot as well. Haven't shot anything with the Xs so all the feedback is interesting. I like a pass thru and blood trail, tried this flangable, dump all the energy inside the animal stuff, haven't been overly impressed.
Included is a photo of the difference between the X & M the M is on the right, same 178g the X has a longer bearing surface, which suits my rifle.
