[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1653428, member: 78438"] It can happen for sure, I killed a decent bull last year at about 150 with the 175 eld-x, direct center punch on front shoulder bone, I recovered the bullet on the offside hide. 7x300 win mag with muzzle velocity of 3150. It completely shattered the front shoulder, destroyed heart and lungs and weighed around 100 grains if I remember correctly. Not trying to argue, just stating that my experience has been different, but we're talking about two different bullets as well. I took lots of pictures if anyone cares to see them. We've taken dozens of animals from 30 to 900 yards and have not had an issue yet. None of these were with the 6.5, and I'm not saying we won't have a problem, but at this point I've seen enough to be pretty confident and any range with it. There isn't a perfect bullet that i'm aware of, most of the bonded bullets have issues at long range, and many of the long range bullets have issues at close range. As far as I can tell the eld-x line in .284 and up is a good option if you want one bullet from the muzzle to as far as you care to shoot. Good luck with it. [/QUOTE]
