[QUOTE="Frenchie1, post: 2543993, member: 84014"] I was with My hunting partner when he shot his sheep a few years back with a 270wsm and 145eldx. Shot was 115yds right in the boiler room and sheep took a short flight, then hit again about 1" from first shot. Both hit ribs and it looked like a murder scene when we were gutting it. He also shot a bull elk in Idaho the same year at 300yds and practically no meat loss and a clean one shot kill. I shot a cow elk in Idaho 2 years ago at 390yds with my 270 win and same bullet. First shot staggered her backwards a few steps and she turned around so I hit her again. Both entered high behind shoulder (opposite sides) and steep downhill- exited low. Again almost 0 meat loss. I shot my mule deer in Utah last year at about 90 yds with the same load in my 270 win and it was back to the murder scene again. Short shot performance with these bullets are something to be desired IMHO but out beyond 200yds or so, I have been super impressed with them. [/QUOTE]
