Thread: .284 ELD-X Close Range Blow Up

It's an impossible situation for projectile makers. A bullet that will perform at the longer ranges people expect nowadays... but that will work up close too. Im using 162s in my 280 AI at moderate velocities, but at close bush hunting ranges. I use them because my rifle has been problematic and they are the one that shoots well. But Ive been surprised at how quickly they disintegrate at 20-40 yards and 2700fps. I suspect they will be great at 3 or 400.
I used the 160 accubond for a while and had the opposite experience. Can't win.
@dannyb What distances are you wanting to use your 270 at?
