[QUOTE="TexasSportsman, post: 1974200, member: 115081"] He didn't say and I didn't ask. Now that I look at the numbers, a minimum of 1600fps for the ELD-X makes better sense. Which would make this round effective 700 - 800 yards. I would say for the average hunter the range they are likely to shoot is 300 yds or less. Hunting whitetail in Texas nearly all of us hunt from a blind to a feeder that's about 75-125 yards out. There's really no need for expensive ammo when the standard Hornady American Whitetail .30-06 150gr Interlock more than adequate at those distances. I am in the planning stages for an elk hunt. Sometime in 2021 or 2022. I found an interesting article from the RMEF. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.rmef.org/elk-network/just-can-shoot-long-doesnt-necessarily-mean/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
