[QUOTE="BlakeGipson, post: 1886289, member: 113927"] My cousin ran the 147 ELDX out of his .260 Ackley for the 2018 season and had mixed results. The first animal we shot was a large bodied mule deer buck at 556 yards. The buck stepped last second and the impact was slightly back, hitting the liver and not exiting. Buck ran around 100 yards and piled up. 2nd animal was an antelope doe. She was a double lung shot at less than 200 yards. She took off like a bolt and made it around 200 yards before she fell over. Later in the season his niece shot an antelope buck at ~980. Upon impact, the buck showed no sign of being hit so she sent a 2nd shot. Either shot should have been sufficient but both pinholed and had no appreciable damage. The buck did die but took some time. November cow elk hunt came around and we found a pair of cows. His wife made a slightly quartered to shot on her cow and hit near the crease of the shoulder (lung shot) only to have it take off. Upon tracking, we found no blood trail but continued to follow. After we found her, I checked my GPS and she had traveled over half a mile through snow before expiring. There were a handful of antelope that this bullet worked well on but the only consistency was inconsistency in performance. Long story short, we don't trust the bullet for our uses and have gone back to using Bergers. [/QUOTE]
