[QUOTE="Canhunter35, post: 1497840, member: 101677"] Yesterday we harvested two antelope using the 143eldx from a 6.5cm. I could not be happier with the performance. First antelope I shot around 350yds, he was running away, didn’t have time to range so I lined up at the fence the herd was ducking under and as he went under I plugged one in low and back farther than intended, he humped up on the far side, stopping and I corrected and shot again through both lungs. He jumped and dropped. Exit wounds from both bullets. The second hit his shoulder and left dramatic damage. The next one faced us quartered, shot in the chest off the point of the shoulder bone, exited behind the opposite shoulder. Instant drt. We shot a third a third antelope with a 178 eldx from a 308 and the bullet performed well, the antelope ran about thirty yards before toppling. This seems consistent with the 178 performance. It doesn’t fragment as much but is a very effective hunting bullet. Not to hijack the thread, but thought the 143 information pertains to it. After seeing the 143 perform I’ll be sticking with it. Very happy [/QUOTE]
