I have shot 3 whitetail with the 143 ELDX out of a 6.5 x 284. 2 of the deer were over 200#. 2 were at 100 yards 1 at 481 yards. Had excellent results on all 3. But I’m getting scared of the ELDX from what others are experiencing. Going to try the accubonds.
I shot a 190# whitetail at 90 yards with 143 gr ELDX out of a 6.5 x 284. Shot went through both shoulders.
My brother shot a 170# whitetail at 85 yards with the same gun and same bullet. Penetrated near side shoulder and lodged under skin on off side.
Every shot is different
