[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1213297, member: 13833"] I can't give you a lot of info, but can pass on what I have. I shot an antelope at 440 yards with a 140 vld with mv of 3150. The bullet went thru both shoulders an exited with a golf ball sized hole. Lots of organ damage "DRT". A mule deer at 125 yards thru the heart and bullet was intact with about 1/4 of the lead left in the cup and stuck under the hide. "DRT" This surprised me as most of my testing showed the bullet coming unglued completely at that velocity. A mule deer at 50 yards was shot thru the neck missing the bone. It literally blew about a 4 lb. roast off of the front of the neck. One of the ugliest wounds I have seen! Had to finish him off. I have not taken any game with the eldx yet as they are too new. I have tested them in media, both water and wet clay, and am impressed especially with low velocity expansion, and sufficient retention at high velocity. I have shot these from 1500' to over 3300' in my 6.5 SS. I hope this helps a little......Rich [/QUOTE]
