No. The 88’s issue is that sometimes (not often) it doesn’t upset enough for my preference.
Didn't realize that was the case. I know the 77 TMKs are the most consistent, but putting them aside if one were looking for a higher bc, would the 80 ELD-M be the most consistent, over the 88?

I don’t want to make it seem like the 88’s aren’t good- they kill. It’s just that I prefer others. The 77gr TMK of course, and so far the 80gr ELD-X seems to be good as well.

Just to make sure I understand, the 80 ELD X performs better than the 80 ELD Match?

Better is subjective, and my sample size with either is relatively limited. However, what I have seen, seems to be showing that the X produces a bit more of a football shaped wound. Of what I have seen, I would choose the 80gr X if given the choice. Having said that, I would happily shoot any of them- 80gr X or M, or 88gr M if that is what was available.
