[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1788525, member: 66917"] Seen the ELDx work great on Coues deer as well. But that was from a 7mm LRM. One shot was crazy long, 934 yards. The bullet went in near the diaphragm, angled across exiting the offside shoulder. The bullet basically travelled the length of the vitals from the back to the front. The deer took a couple of steps and collapsed dead. The second deer was shot at 512 yards. The bullet went straight through the center of the vitals and deer dropped where it stood. I'd say the effect on game is similar between the Berger's and the ELD Hornady bullets. But, I think you will be disappointed in their performance if most of your shots are 300 yards or less. A bonded bullet would be better at short ranges. Where we hunt Coues deer most shots range from 300-800yards with most in the 400-600 range with precision long range rifles. So we get great performance from these long range cup and core bullets. If I had to make a close shot I'd shoot for the neck shoulder junction to quickly collapse it and miss the front shoulder.
