Thanks!</p></blockquote><p>I've shot total of 2 buck deer, 2 doe whitetail and 2 doe antelope in 2018 with the 143 ELDX in a 6.5 Creed and 2 buck deer and 3 doe antelope in 2019 with 6.5 PRC. All one shot kills from 75 yds. to 442 yds.. They killed quick. Accurate. Just a little explosive on bone. Not as bad as Bergers but they aren't meant to be bone busters. I wouldn't use an ELDX on elk because I like shooting them in shoulder so they go down and still do vitals damage. In 2019 I shot a N.M. muley, good size buck at 75 yds. with 6.5 PRC. Shot high and hit spine. Blew spine in half. I used a 124 Hammer Hunter on a good size muley buck in Ca. X12 last Sept.. missed him at 598 yds. Jumped him at around 60-70 yds. I still had my CDC on scope set at 600 yds.... Hit base of neck instead of frontal shot at cheats. It broke his spine and passed through body broke back rib and exited in front of hind leg if I explained it correctly. I don't think an ELDX would of done that. The muley buck in Wy. 2019 with ELDX at around 100 yds. was classic behind shoulder/lung shot. DRT. The last 3 bucks were all PRC. WY. muly buck last Nov. I shot off hand also like other 3. He was about 110 yds. Hit high again and spined him with a 156 Berger. DRT.</p><p>Sorry for long post !</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p>
