[QUOTE="Prieto9000, post: 2012164, member: 24952"] I’ve had very bad performance from the ELDM line. I’ve used 147 6.5mm and 180 7mm for hunting with very bad results. 147gr@3050fps hit a coyote facing me @570yds right in the center of the chest. Went down, rolled over stand up and ran away. 147gr@2850fps @170yds hit an aoudad sheep on the shoulder. He ran away, no blood trail, lost animal. 180gr7mm@3000fps hit a javellina broad side @200yds DRT but no exit wound. It’s a very small animal I would expect an exit wound from a bullet that heavy on such a small animal. 180gr7mm@3000fps hit a whitetail deer @240yds. High shoulder shot dropped him on its tracks. Went to retrieve the animal 10 minutes later an it was still alive, had to finish him with my handgun. The spine was broken, but no exit wound, and no considerable internal damage. I’m switching to nosler accubonds and Barnes LRX for better terminal performance [/QUOTE]
