[QUOTE="cross, post: 1377934, member: 8592"] My son is loading the 150 ELD-Xs in his 7RM. 7RM is a handful for a slightly built 13 year old so we’re loading it somewhere on the lighter side with RL-23 (I believe he’s getting about 2840 out of his Tikka and shoving them deep enough to fit them in the magazine, nowhere near the lands.). Group sizes are about 1/2 MOA or better. The first one he fired at a game animal was at an antelope at somewhere near 200 yds. He shot it right through the ribs, the bullet exited behind the front shoulder on the far side about 1 1/4” diameter hole. The antelope buck ran about 70 yards and piled up. The second animal was a little taffy 6 point bull at about 175 yards. Bullet entered about the last rib or two on the right side and exited about the same spot on the left side. Again about an 1 1/4” exit wound. Bull ran about 60 yards and expired. The advertised BCs for the 150s seems to be about right. We haven’t had a chance yet to see how they will perform at short range yet but we’re going to stick with them for now. [/QUOTE]
