[QUOTE="ICMDEER, post: 2857438, member: 123653"] I shot two elk with 200 grain ELDX bullets out of my 300 Win Mag last year and a big bear this year. Excellent performance on all. The bull went down in his tracks, but struggled like he was going to get up again. So I shot him again. (That's how I shoot elk; till they are done.) Never twitched after that. Both shots were high shoulder quartering away. Both in the shoulder and spine. One was full penetration. The other went through the shoulder and 3-4 vertebra and was intact under the opposite hide. The cow was close; under 100 yards. Shot her high shoulder and she dropped without a twitch. Full penetration. The bear was shot at 200 yards. Full penetration. Right over the heart and through that cluster of atreries and both lungs. Bear ran about 35-40 yards and died. A death run. The bullets also group well. About .5 MOA every time. And they hold that group well at all distances. I also shot an antelope year before last with a 143 ELDX out of my 6.5 PRC. He was 150-200 yards. Death run with full penetration through both lungs. Went about 50 yards. I also had a hunter shoot a nice 6X6 with a 143 ELDX out of a 6.5 PRC. 435 yards. Bullet went in behind one shoulder and exited just in front of the other. Though the spine, too. Exited. Bull dropped in his tracks. So far, the ELDX bullets have done everything I could ask of them. [/QUOTE]
