[QUOTE="Longshotjames, post: 1437499, member: 91374"] Ive been using the 225eldM exclusively in my custom chambered 300wm with lots of success. I started testing milk jugs out to 700yds with violent expansion. So I used them last season on 12 deer and 1cow elk out to 860yards. I was amazed with every shot the amount of expansion and penetration. Now, I realize this is a 225gr bullet so it carries a little more weight than a 6.5 143-147gr but it even expanded well on whitetail doe at 840,850 and 860yards. The only bullet I recovered was a wt Doe that I shot at 400yards in the chest facing me. The bullet entered in the base of the neck with a huge audible THUMP. I recovered it in skin on the rump by the tail, fully expanded, so penetraiton went the full length of the body. The elk cow was 180yds, so more of a high velocity impact. Struck her high in both shoulder blades, erasing the top half of her lungs, breaking the spine. Left a hole I could put my fist through and exited. It all my testing the 225eldM is solid on game. I feel the synthetic tip allows it to open consistent unlike other match grade bullets with open-tip (hollow points) that expand irregular or not at all. Use them with confidence. I just got another 500! James [ATTACH]97222[/ATTACH] this is a pic of Yorke's testing with listed velocity in his wet leather test medium [ATTACH]97221[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
