[QUOTE="Timx47Lapua, post: 2245126, member: 90699"] I’ve killed around a dozen muley, whitetail, and axis with the 143 eldx. Those were shots ranging from 60-300 yards and at those ranges the bullets expanded violently although still provided plenty of penetration. Generally either a large exit or around 30-40% of the bullet stuck under the offside hide and the rest having fragmented. This is the only elk that I’ve killed with them. 710 yards (2130fps impact velocity) hit him in the pocket and he ran about thirty yards and tipped over, he was done for but tried getting up so I sent another in the neck/shoulder junction area and that one him switched him off. That bullet wasn’t recovered but the first hit was a perfect mushroom under the offside hide. Forgot to take pictures but it looked like there was little to no weight loss. As stated above I’d avoid heavy bone at closer ranges. When your working with a lower impact velocity they hold together much like “traditional” hunting bullet. [/QUOTE]
