[QUOTE="jrock, post: 2371804, member: 78569"] Going to slip this comment/question into the thread since we are talking about target and hunting bullets. I've shot a deer and elk with a 300 Elite hunter and was happy with the turn out. This year, I shot a cow elk in the vitals ( at 400 yards) with a 285 ELDM. Ended up being three times, as the first one didn't look like it was going to drop her anytime soon. The second one did end up tipping her just as I sent the third. First shot was low vitals that hit the opposite leg and shatter it and the bullet. The other two shots were lungs with complete pass throughs with nickel sized exits. I was expecting bigger exits based on some of the 6.5 and 7mm ELDM exits from pictures that were shared with me. Wondering what's up with the 285s as the EDLMs. I only have 300 grain elites on the shelf now so I'll be going back to them if I can find some 8133 or Retumbo. [/QUOTE]
