[QUOTE="Velvet, post: 1731885, member: 103348"] Hi guys I was doing some experiments last weekend with the ELDX 220gn bullets in a 300winmag, firing them at some 250 and 400yards water bottles. The rifle loves this bullet. At 600y make 3 shots group in 3". The muzzle speed was 2750ps average. At 250y: 2496ps, 2489foot / pounds, 54% weight retention, it did not maintain integrity. At 400y: 2162ps, 1867 foot / pounds, 66.2% weight retention, maintained integrity, without separating core. Everything can be seen in the attached photos. I am interested in using this bullet for elk hunting at moderate range, 500-600y max, and from what I could see, at that distance / speed, it should expand perfectly and maintain integrity. It makes me doubt his behavior a little for a close shot if he shows up, say 100-150y. I would be very grateful if anyone has had experience with this bullet, in a short distance elk hunt. Thanks in advance. V[ATTACH=full]153230[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]153231[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
