[QUOTE="308stillbrass, post: 1718438, member: 109919"] Both me and my buddy were shooting factory Hornaday ELDX ammo, mine was 200 grain in 300 WSM and his was 162 grain in 7mm mag. He shot his bull at 70 yards. It stumbled about 50 yards and piled up. Broke a rib on entry, jellied the lungs, no exit. I shot mine at 140 yards. Lunged forward 20 yards and tipped over. No bone contact on entry, ripped open the top of the heart, and shredded the front of the lungs. I didn't notice any exit and don't think there was one but we were working in the dark and I could have overlooked it. Neither of us recovered a bullet but there was a lot a innards to hide it. We were both happy with performance as well as accuracy out of our rifles. Hate to hear your results were different. [/QUOTE]
