The accubond will have better weight retention for sure. However I have shot more then a dozen animals last few years with the eld-x. I have yet to recover one of them! All have killed well. 2 elk cow at like 70 yards and bull at 400+.

I shoot a lot of brands and shoot what the guns like. I have seen berger horrors first hand, seen more then a few animals posted by berger shooters on here with more then 1 hole in them this year :mgun2: Yet they are all one shot kills  :chuckle:  :boxin:

Eld-x and bergers perform the same on game. But I decided to go with the eld-x because I feel like that little polymer tip will gaurantee expansion. I have killed roughly 15 animals with them and have never been let down. 212’s at 3100 seems to work pretty good
