Hornady 340gr .50cal ELD-X Bore Driver

Is there a consensus on these bullets now or more testing of terminal performance comparing them to other, competing offerings? Particularly interested in terminal performance of these vs the 290 BD FTX vs. 300 Thor Hammers. If there's a repository of testing somewhere, I'm happy to be given the link to go study.

Use case is deer and elk. I'm sure they make a fine deer bullet, so I'm more concerned about whether they can double as an elk bullet.

Thanks.

Harvested two elk with this bullet this year. Great results overall both shots around 170. They also fly incredibly well at extreme ranges. Haven’t tried them in a CVA paramount but my guess is they won’t fit.

Oh, wow. The 290 results are scary for sure. Too slow, and bullet doesn't upset at all. Too fast, and it flies apart. I'll have to study all of this some more.
