[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2185154, member: 109862"] 225 eld m out of a .300 win took my whitetail last year. About 350 yards. My 2760 FPS. to me this is a no-brainer but it’s built on an unrealistic premise, that both bullets start at the same velocity. If they’re actually both starting at 2900 the 225 eld m, with its extra weight, much higher bc (verified), and massive hollow point under that tip (the tip on the 225 is waaay bigger than on the 208 eld/amax, much bigger hollow Point underneath), will hit much harder and fragment much more violently at long range where that’s a concern. As for the closer range...it exited on my Saskatchewan whitetail buck no problem. Not an elk BUT a heavier whitetail, end of November in Saskatchewan, real thick winter fur and tons of autumn fat reserves, was a chunky one haha. [/QUOTE]
