[QUOTE="stonehands1, post: 1859573, member: 88929"] If and I stress if you can confidently hit the mark at long range then the 225eldm is awesome. Wacked a couple deer at 860 last year and one at about a 100. One a couple years ago at 1400. All of them were dead before they hit the ground. All were pass through shots. I have no problem recommending these for deer. Elk on the other hand I would say only if at 800 yards or more. Bear as well. Shot an Elk at 400 last year. One behind the shoulder then one in front. Hit no major bones and both bullets recovered in the off side hide. They expand to quickly for real big/heavy game at close range. At distance when they have slowed down a bit then ok. Here's a pick of bullet recovered from Elk. Both bullets looked the same. Shot with a 300 Norma Improved at 3100fps at the muzzle. [/QUOTE]
