Thanks
Those are the bullets I am hoping to shoot. Good BC and they apparently open up at lower velocities making them great for long range prairie hunting.
What's the maximum range for acceptable terminal performance with ELD-X bullets?
It depends on retained velocity and is therefore cartridge dependent. In general, the ELD-X bullets will provide reliable and effective terminal performance up to velocities of approximately 1,600 feet per second. Click here for more information on Hornady Heat Shield Technology.
As per Hornady's website
So if my ballistics calculator is correct, with a muzzle velocity of 3000 fps you have over 1000 foot pounds of energy and over 1600fps out past 750m
