I've shot accubonds out of my 270 WSM for quite a few years and have been extremely happy with the results. Lots of dead deer, some very dead coyotes and one unlucky beaver.
Who shoots their wife in the crotch?
Answer: Dirty Mike, Dirty Mike does that

I like nosler partitions, accubonds, swift a frames and scirrocos. Who gives a shit about bc shoot a man's gun with a reasonable powder charge. If a little recoil bothers you make the gun heavier or put a brake on it. A 6.5 Creedmoor is nothing more than a necked up 22-250.
I care about BC, a bunch actually.

Will it work? Yes. Would it be my first choice? No. In my opinion, the eldx is a great shooting bullet, but not a great killing bullet. Wife shot a mule deer with the 143eldx right behind the front shoulder, and the bullet fragmented into little slivers. Took two more shots to put him down. I've shot elk and deer with the 178eldx out of my 300wm. Both died, but I found multiple pieces of the bullets under the hide.
Personally, I'd go with a 140 grain barnes ttsx or nosler accubond.
So the ELD-X is a fake renamed A-max?
