Regal, have you noticed a difference between the amax and eld? I broke in my JP 22er with some leftover factory amax. Did 5/8" at 100 and was fine on 750, but it started getting pretty inconsistent at 900. Moved onto to some factory 123 black and the 900 really tightened up despite it being a little slower. My assumption was that Hornady was actually telling us the truth about the melting amax tips and that that may have actually been a real reason behind moving to ELD (in addition to being able to charge us more money). I would think that if there are any deformities on the tip, any destabilization that might occur as the transition zone is entered would be magnified and things could fall apart pretty fast. However, with where I shoot, a 123 isn't starting to go transonic until >1k, yet there was the noticeable difference between amax and eld at 900.
Let's go Brandon!
