25 cal 134 Eld-M vs 133 Berger EH

[WKR]

I'd like to here from guys who have killed using either of these bullets, with terminal reports and muzzle/impact velocities.

Not an extensive list but a deer and elk with the 134 eldm. Results have been pretty devastating. Can’t recall the impact velocity but 400 yards on the elk 300 on the deer starting at 2900ish fps. Both were baseball sized wound channels. The deer went through both knuckles and exited, the elk I found the jacket in offside hide. I did kill around a dozen animals with the 135 Berger with good results but the 134s are opening faster and leaving a more uniform, baseball sized wound channel vs more of a grenade effect with the Berger’s.

Probably whichever shoots better and you have a good supply of is the right answer.

I have shot the 133 only, but they are money and I don’t see how the Hornady are better, given my experience with other calibers.

The difference is so minimal, I don’t see a reason to get too worked up.

I have Hornady for other calibers, but my 25 is my go to hunting rifle now.
