Best longrange hunting bullet for medium sized game.

[Darksith]

Hornady's ELD is the best long range bullet. It keeps proving itself out, plain and simple.

now imagine if that was an elk or moose

I don't know, I think it performed just as expected at close range. If I was planning an elk or moose hunt, I'd probably bump up to 200+gr, as those should hold together better and be less "explosive" due to lower MV. Hitting a major leg bone can be iffy regardless of bullet choice. I don't think the ELD-X is a replacement for Accubonds, Partitions, or TSX's, but at almost half the cost of those options I think it did pretty well.
