[QUOTE="Chris V., post: 2195884, member: 106319"] Seems everywhere today I read about sniping animals 1100 yards plus. 1 shot kills! No wounding/escapement reports. The equipment, skill and bullets are amazing. I choose to hunt than snipe and have hunted the world. 90% of my shots have been under 200 yards. But I did once shoot a running bull moose offhand at 400+ yards on the last day of the hunt. Hit him right in the heart! Seriously, my guide said he had only seen that once before. Oh, I did shoot a wounded Muskox beyond 500 off my pack. I just can't stand wounding and third rate shooters who don't practice much, like the guy on a BC moose hunt who shot a small cow moose to Swiss Cheese with his custom 7 Mag at 30 yards! This clown had previously shot off a round in camp, while "testing" his safety!!! That guy really ****ed me off! No respect for guns nor game. After researching the ELD-X some I wrote it off. For my type of hunting they seemed fragile and with lackluster penetration. I now have a semi-custom RUM in the works and even though I prefer closer shots at game, am practicing out to 600. I have my reasons, some of which are declining opportunity, competition and Hunt Hating Control Freaks on the rise. One reason I was originally interested in the ELD-X as a hunting bullet was less wind drift, even at shorter ranges. With so many praising ELD-Xs here, perhaps I should take another look at them???
