    So are VLD's. So are ELDX.

    People designed the Accubond, the TTSX and the Partition for a reason. Use them.
    If it were me, I'd go Barnes 127gr LRX and develop a good load for it. They work.
    Have you actually tried ELD-Ms on game, or did you read about them on the internet?

    ELD-M is a match bullet, but it’s also the best long range bullet on game. I have used them in a variety of cartridges, along with A-Max on a variety of game over many years on 3 continents. ELD-X is a game bullet through and through, and a good one at that.

    TTSX and Partition are both excellent bullets at close to medium range, but are not good at longer ranges. LRX is also a poor choice at long range. Just my opinions, but with respect, I think your views are off.
