[QUOTE="loonie, post: 2815165, member: 59678"] I will agee from my personal exprience that the eldm is not a good hunting bullet. They have worked good on thin skinned game, deer and antelope, but on heavy hide elk, NOT! First cow we shot at 400 yards with 180 eldm ran off, and never caught up to her. Then a bull at 450 broadside, shot him 3 times , 7 saum, walked behind a tree and laid down. Took him 30 minutes to die. Should of been dead on first shot. Bullets were not getting any penetrtion due to coming apart to soon. The videos of the animals dropping in there tracks with the high shoulder or spine shots are not good reference for the bullet. Most all bullets will drop them with that shot. Hit one in the shoulder and its a different story. I've shot several different caliber eldm's into bundles of wet newspaper and they all come apart bad with poor penetration , especially when compared to Nosler's and some berger's. [/QUOTE]
