Awesome. Thanks for your response. That’s what I was leaning towards but had seen several good reports on both.75 ELD M. I've killed a few deer with the 73 ELD M and it is a phenomenal little bullet.

I have 62 gr federal fusions and 75gr eldm. I plan on using these on SE whitetail and range practice. Which would be better for Whitetail deer hunting?
Jim Heffelfinger has in interesting article in Deer&Deer hunting (last November, I think?) on this subject. Don't ask me to link it as I'm not sure how, lol! Search "Jim Heffelfinger lead bullet" and it should pop up.I'd greatly appreciate sources for this.
I can't speak for the match bullet, but the Fusion is a decidedly good killer. Expect pass throughs on broadside shots. Wrecked innards. Tough enough to bust bone and make it to vitals.Sorry to divert away from lead acetate/chemistry/copper/etc . But I have 62 gr federal fusions and 75gr eldm. I plan on using these on SE whitetail and range practice. Which would be better for Whitetail deer hunting? I know 77 TMKs would be better but that’s not an option for me at the moment.

I haven't seen anything about jacketed lead bullets that scares me. I'm much more bothered by Doritos and soda. To each his own, though.
Thanks. I’ve used fusions bf in 300 wsm and it was pretty devastating. I figure I’ll try both and test results on a couple does first.I can't speak for the match bullet, but the Fusion is a decidedly good killer. Expect pass throughs on broadside shots. Wrecked innards.

As far as ingesting lead I wouldn’t worry about it. I have a .177 pointed pellet in my hand for the last 33 years and have no issues. Dumb stuff as kids. Docs wouldn’t operate on it to get it out. Surgeon said just leave it like they did in the Civil War. So they did. The weight of that pellet is probably more than the weight of lead an average Hunter would ingest over a lifetime.
What’s worth more, waiting an extra few days or picking every bullet out of a bubble mailer cause the box broke?I ordered from Midsouth last week and Midway last night. Let’s see which one gets here first. I’m betting Midway delivers first.
Haven’t had an issue with either in the past. I haven’t ordered bullets from midway in quite a while though so we will see.What’s worth more, waiting an extra few days or picking every bullet out of a bubble mailer cause the box broke?
Joking aside seems like mid south packages things halfway decent. Midway depends highly on the bubble envelopes
Would there be much difference in terminal performance 77gr TMK vs stand matchking?Either will work fine, however like PathFinder I would choose the 75gr ELD-M.

10/4, must’ve missed itYes, very much so. It has been discussed a couple of times in this thread.
