I agree with you. I shoot the ELD-X 143 grain right now.
But it always seems to me the polymer tip can get bent or dented.
I have a case of Hornady 158gr tipped that I use in the Henry Big Boy, chambered in .357 magnum, which I found prevents jams as shorter HPs often do. My 1975 Colt Trooper MKIII 6”, also in .357, likes to eat them too, although it’s a revolver. Also use them in my Kimber 1911s.
