[QUOTE="zcarglen, post: 1586776, member: 74185"] I have a Fierce Edge in 28 Nosler which I first used on elk this season. My worked up handload for the 175 ELDX is 75gr of H1000 30thou off the lands running at about 3150ft/sec. Although this is the start load on the Nosler reloading sheet, it proved to be the most accurate. I was lucky to be able to try the load out on two elk, a cow at 400 yds. and a bull closer to 450. The broadside cow took one in the engine room and didn't make more than a couple of steps with two holes in her. The bull was slightly quartering and I hit high on the shoulder and he was anchored but not dead. However the bullet was recovered under the skin opoosite and had penetrated both shoulders. The shock trauma had paralysed him, but if it wasn't for poor shooting, would have been lethal. The ELDX had retained about 45% of it's weight so it did it's job. Because of it's unbonded cup and core design, though, I am going to try the bonded Nosler ABLR. In qualifying this post, I feel like this combo would be good in my hands out to 500yds, although 700 would be my eventual goal. Thanks for reading. [/QUOTE]
