[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 4044758, member: 48072"] There is no "123gr ELD-X" in Hornady's lineup last time I checked. I've seen a few videos where they (123 ELD-M) worked well on hogs. The problem is that most evidence is anecdotal...and we rarely get to see things like POI on the "failures". So we get plenty of conflicting stories and arguments going in the interwebs...and every one of them has to be taken with a grain of salt unless they recorded the shot & impact. I've killed a total of 1 coyote with the 130gr ELD-M out of a 6.5x47 at a whopping 82 yards. The damage was impressive, but most bullets would be at that range/impact velocity. I've no other ELD-M experience beyond that. I do know that the 123gr SST out of the Grendel is an excellent hunting bullet...one of the better options available. I've killed a few dozen hogs with those and have zero complaints...most kills are on YouTube. I've also had good luck with the 100gr TTSX, 120gr TSX, and decent results with the 120gr Nosler Ballistic Tip. My two worst performers so far have been the 120gr Gold Dot (probably needed more velocity), and 110gr Controlled Chaos. [/QUOTE]
