7mm 175g Hornady ELD-X results on game

I shot a little buck last year with them out of my factory sendero 7 stw at 330 yards. He was going up the ridge and when I hit him he flipped backwards and rolled down the hill a couple times and never moved. I will have to check the load but I think it was around 3250-3270 with RL 26. Here's the pic's.

This was the entrance

And the exit

I've killed a whitetail at 500+, mule deer at sub 150 yards and an antelope 500+ with my 28 nosler recently 175 eldx 3150 at the muzzle.

I don't have any pictures of entry or exits with the 175 but the attached picture is a 143 out of a prc at 500+ bullet missed the shoulder but the picture is after shoulder was removed.

7 animals this year at 300, 330, 475, 530, 615, 605, and 630 yards. 7mm RM 175 eldx about 2900fps. Changed from eldm to eldx because of availability. Have over 70 kills with Eldm, seems to consistently transfer energy within animal. Eldx passed through on all shots and there was not much trauma even after hitting shoulder bone. Both are very accurate, I prefer the eldm so far because I would rather use energy between the ribs than the ground behind
