[QUOTE="catamountsierra, post: 1497040, member: 79865"] I just got my first elk with that combo. Muzzle velocity was about 2750 fps, and the elk was right at 200 yards. I hit it right where it should, and it went about 50 yards before expiring. Exit hole was smaller that I would have liked, about 3/8", but the heart and one lung were toast and there was very little ruined meat. I am hoping to try the bullet again in November on an antlerless deer hunt. I don't think one kill is enough to really tell how the bullet works, but so far it seems to be a decent match for the 7mm-08. The other bullet I have shot, but not harvested anything with, is the 150 ELDX, which I think would shoot similarly but the construction is different. [/QUOTE]
