Hornady describes difference between ELD-X and ELD Match

The biggest thing that stood out to me is that the whole argument against using “match” bullets hinges on the base assumption that a “hunting bullet” must have high weight retention, minimal fragmentation, and complete penetration.

But the benchmark for a hunting bullet should be how well it kills animals, not how much weight it retains or how deep it penetrates in gel. They never really said the eldm doesn’t kill well, they just kept saying it doesn’t reliably retain weight and penetrate all the way through.

So if you don’t concede that “hunting bullet” and “weight retention” are synonymous, they really haven’t even presented an argument.

Really well stated.
