[QUOTE="Cobramach1, post: 1265471, member: 11774"] This doesn't surprise me. I suspect that's why Hornady factory ammunition only loads the 220gr for the 300 RUM. My experience with the ELD-X thus far has only been the 143gr 6.5mm bullets. They both did their job but the animals did travel some before going down. The one deer it passed completely through the lungs and through the animal and I saw it hit behind the animal in the field. The second deer taken with one had a golf ball sized entry hole. I suspect it hit a rib on it's entry. Cartridge is a wildcat 30-30 necked down to 6.5mm with velocity right around 2400 for reference. I'm used to my 300RUM and the animals just dropping on the spot with 180gr Swift Scirocco. I'm going to be loading and testing the 220gr ELD-X in the 300RUM. [/QUOTE]
