[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1763893, member: 78438"] I recently posted this pic on another thread. Mature bull elk, 175 eld-x out of a 7x300@ 3150. Impact velocity of about 3100. Bullet stopped on offside hide after destroying both lungs. It was a direct hit to the heaviest part of the shoulder. Bullet weighed about 75 grains. Bull traveled a few yards and passed in a few seconds. We've harvested probably dozens of animals from antelope to elk ranging from 30 to 920 yards without an issue. My only complaint is some variations between lots. I generally buy as many of the same lot as I can to avoid that issue. They may have that worked out by now. It's been my go to in both the 162 and 175 This year the 143 has done well in my 6.5 saum as well, but have only seen one mule deer taken with it (Youth hunt). So far so good, it's a bit rough on meat with close shots if you get into the shoulder too much, but most of them are. I'd love to see a 190 class 7mm eld-x, but for now, they are the most consistent bullet I have for killing from very close to 1000. [ATTACH=full]159831[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
