[QUOTE="coop2564, post: 2245233, member: 87214"] Up close I haven't had good luck with the ELDX holding together up close in 143gr 6.5. 1st 6.5 cm @ 2850 fps shot Pronghorn at 65yds bullet basically blew up, found only very small piece of jacket in offside hide, the rest had to be in stomach I guess he was quartering to me. He dropped in tracks so it did job. 2nd 6.5 PRC @3030 fps was WT @ 40yds same hit behind shoulder and dead right there, but bullet was gone the lead nowhere to be found large piece of jacket in hide of off shoulder. Had these hit shoulder blade or leg bone??? Everything I have shot over 200 yds has been great had exits and dead animals. Up close I make sure to stay off big bone with the 143gr the bigger bullets will probably do better. Up close as long as you stay off the bone it sure makes for some bang flops. [/QUOTE]
