[QUOTE="jamiebolseth, post: 1878293, member: 88495"] I have been satisfied with the 178 ELDx's. I've only taken 3 animal with them. A mulie buck at about 50 yds. Bullet went through the chest and off shoulder and existed. My buck last year was a mulie buck quartering away on the move at 475yds. I hit him high on the rear quarter and I never found the bullet. It smashed the back hip and continued all the way up into the chest cavity. Never found the bullet, so not sure if it exited or not. Last was a cow elk at 320 yds. Went through the lungs and exited. Dead cow. Ballistically the bullets are really good for what I'm using them for. Accurate and efficient. This is a lightweight hunting rifle, so I don't do much really long range stuff with it as I sort of just plan to shoot critters with it out to 500-600 yds. But I ran it out on steel to 900 yds yesterday in some fairly windy conditions and it performs well for sort of a "medium range, lightweight, short, hunting rifle". [/QUOTE]
