A FRIEND OF MINE JUST DID A PLAINS GAME HUNT IN NAMIBIA, HE WITH A 338 LAPUA RIFLE USING HORNADY 250gr ELD-X's, AND HIS STEP SON WITH A 300 WEATHERBY RIFLE USING AMMO WITH A NOSLER 180gr PARTITION. HE SAID THE 180 PARTITION PERFORMED WAY BETTER ON GAME THAN THE 250 ELD-X AND SEEMED TO HAVE MORE SMACK. THESE GUYS ARE NOT VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT A LOT OF THE PERFORMANCE ISSUES THAT GET DISCUSSED ON WEBSITES LIKE THIS ONE, BUT IT WAS INTERESTING TO HEAR WHAT HIS CASUAL OBSERVATION WAS. WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS SEEING REPORTS THAT THE ELD-X's MAY NOT BE GOOD "GAME BULLETS" HE HAD A PUZZLED LOOK ON HIS FACE LIKE "A BULLET IS A BULLET, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"

"ADAPT OR DIE". I USE ALL CAPS, NOT BECAUSE I AM YELLING, BUT BECAUSE IT IS AN OLD HABIT FROM MY ARMY DAYS, PLUS IT IS EASIER TO TYPE AND READ.
