[QUOTE="grog24, post: 2265187, member: 116369"] my 6.5CM shoots 143 ELD-X in the 0.2’s” @ 2795fps. Love the accuracy. First deer I shot with the load dropped immediately (not saying much, it was a neck shot at ~90yds). Second deer with the load was on a business development trip (south Texas) so trying to be a “gentleman” I did the text book shot placement at ~75yds on an older 8pt at last light. Deer jumped and kicked and ran. I was in disbelief when I found no blood. Not a single drop anywhere. Ended up finding him about 100yds away down a sendera dead. Pencil in between ribs, pierced both lungs and top 1/3 of heart was gone with a pencil out exit between two ribs. Only left enough blood where he was lying to maybe cover with a quarter... freak deal. Made me question the bullet somewhat because if he had jumped into south Texas brush and not stuck to a path I would have lost him for sure. There’s my sample size of 2 feedback (wish I had more) [/QUOTE]
