162 gr Bullets in 7x57

Is the 7mm eld Match the same as the 7mm A-Max? I notice on the boxes
that the Match says Twist Rate 1-9.5. On the A-Max it reads
Twist Rate 1-8. Do both bullets give you the same terminal
results?

They certainly do very well with my 1:9.5 twist 7x57[b]

For hunting I use the ELDX bullets however.

Both the same John. Lengths are the same, jackets the same. Its only the tip material that differs with these particular projectiles.

All of this and other updates including bullet cutaway photos can be found in the second edition of Cartridges.

Thank you all for your responses. I am just about out of
7mm A-Max and will switch to 162 gr. ELD Match.
