[QUOTE="richhymas, post: 2255910, member: 43504"] Resurrecting am old post I know. My son just shot a cow elk in the crease with a 225 grain ELD-match. Blew out 3 ribs on entrance. Destroyed the heart and mushed the lungs. Far shoulder was somewhat bloodshot on the inside surface but no obvious exit from the chest cavity. Gutless method so no attempt to recover fragments but by all appearances weight retention was likely minimal at that range. Good clean kill but probably a bit soft for close range. MV was 2825. Impact velocity roughly 2650. Performed as expected. I would probably choose a somewhat more solid bullet next time. ELD-x or scirocco. I would be somewhat worried about a shoulder/humorous impact at close range. [/QUOTE]
