[QUOTE="73driver, post: 2026257, member: 36473"] I always plan on shooting ELD-X's through deer. I find that shooting "at" them does not have the same effect as through them. I have limited experience with ELD-X bullets. The one kill was a 270win with the 145 ELD-X ammo at 350 yards on a whitetail. The shot entered the ribs right behind the on shoulder, angled through the lungs and exited the far side after punching through the diaphragm muscle and clipping the edge of the paunch. I would like to have that bullet to see how it held up but it was through and through. That the ELDX bullet exited tells me it has the energy and structural integrity to pass through that much animal and exit. [/QUOTE]
