[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2302670, member: 87243"] Yes it can happen with any bullet, but I had 3 failures in 13 animals with that particular bullet. Using Berger 140's and 156's out of the same gun, I have north of 60 kills on pronghorn, deer and elk from 200 yards to 940 yards without a single failure, and only 3 animals that didn't have an exit, I'll note all of which were with the 156's. Considering those facts observed in my use, I won't use that specific bullet, however that is the 147 eld-m, not the eld-x which this thread references. I still use the 175 eld-x in my wife's 7 Sherman Max, with good results. 4 pronghorn, 2 mule deer so far, ranging from 200 yards to 740 yards. Muzzle velocity of 2900 fps. 1 failure to exit, but that was on a heavily quartering pronghorn at 340 yards, entered the front of the shoulder, destroyed both lungs, and ended up in the stomach somewhere, did not exit the body cavity.
