[QUOTE="slowshot18, post: 2830761, member: 119000"] Never taken a speed goat before, but a pile of south texas white tails, blackbuck antelope, axis, and a few mule deer with ELDMs. For the whitetail and exotics, 140 eldms out of a 20" 6.5 creedmoor have been devastating on them, even without hitting bone for expansion. On the alternative, I've used 178 ELDx out of a 308 before on several whitetail and expansion was not impressive and a marginal shot could of resulted in a lost animal. For mule deer, I've used 225 eldms and they have been great, punching through at least one shoulder and destroying the vitals and while still expanding without hitting bone. Berger 245 EOLs have also worked great at expanding without hitting bone as well out to 600 yards. In my opinion, I would not hesitate to use an ELDM in your 260 for pronghorn. For Hornady, ELDMs have thinner jackets than their ELDX line, and for Berger, their hunting line has thinner jackets than their target line of bullets. Not all target bullets are the same, and its a stigma that is difficult to break. [/QUOTE]
