[QUOTE="1894C, post: 2039215, member: 114886"] I have killed game with the 180 ELDm out to 863 yards this year. The are more violent expanders than my 180 bergers. Too violet up close as you do not get a pass through even on 80 pound does(muzzle velocity 2960fps). I really like them at impact velocity from about 2650 to 1800. Above and below that threshold not so much. BC wise I have them running a g1 of .735 and that is exactly correct for my rifle. A lot of people on this forum do not shoot their rifle enough to have DOPE. All they have are estimations based on a manufacturer or a ballistics app. Applied ballistics said my g1 bc was .705. I was shooting high at all ranges tweaked around with the BC value and stumbled upon .735. That is [B]DATA OF PREVIOUS ENGAGEMENTS[/B] Not an estimation. The biggest issue with the hornady eldm and eldx are their base to o give variation. If your rifle like them I suggest you buy in bulk and sort all of your bullets accordingly. [/QUOTE]
