If you choose the bondstrike for hunting I’ll be very interested in how it performs. I found it too late in the process to try out so settled on ELDX but don’t love it.

Did you notice any recoil difference between the 175s and the 160s?

How’s the accuracy with the Federal ELDX?

I’ve had pretty good accuracy from 6.5 and 280 precision hunter with the ELDX.
