[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2195384, member: 66917"] Yes, I think that's great performance for that bullet. At that distance using a soft long range bullet and that starting velocity I'm surprised you even found the bullet and it didn't just go to pieces. I assume the animal died and was recovered, so from a kill stand point the bullet did its job. I would say if most of your shots are less than 500 yards, like you've never shot an animal past 500 yards, I'd maybe choose a tougher bullet like and ABLR or Mono. The ELDx is designed to mushroom symmetrically down to around 1600fps per Hornady, which is a little lower than standard bullets. Usually for copper/lead bullets its around 1800 fps. This has to do with the relative mechanical strength of copper and lead. Copper monos are more like 2000fps for good expansion. Not all bullets work great in all situations. [/QUOTE]
