[QUOTE="jtmpilot, post: 1774115, member: 88043"] [ATTACH=full]161893[/ATTACH] This trade off between impact velocity and over expansion is not unique to the ELDX bullets. I hit a small bodied South Carolina whitetail at about 75 yds with a 195 Berger out of a 28 Nosler. I know lots of guys use this particular combo for elk sized game with great results, so I expected to get a good exit wound on whitetails even at close range. I was mistaken. The entrance can be seen well behind the shoulder, so i didn't hit heavy bone on impact. The slug didn't even make it to the far side shoulder. On the bright side, the deer didn't go very far, but the blood trail was virtually nil....glad I didn't have to track him. The other obvious downside is the amount of bloodshot meat...
