[QUOTE="DakotaFire101, post: 2749272, member: 81053"] After at least two follow up shots on deer yes the animals died. I don't use the death of an animal as a major metric when I am considering how a bullet performed. I break down and blueprint every shot I am present for and analyze the different components that result in that animal being dead. If I shoot a deer three times and finally it drops with a neck shot and I recover one of the bullets looking like the one I posted and a necropsy of the animal reveals that the other two bullets penciled through the lungs without causing much trauma, I tend to write that bullet off. Then when I compare the killing capability of said bullet with a berger hybrid and a hammer hunter out of the same 7mm rem mag I have a nice set of data to use as the basis for my opinion that the eld x is inferior to the other bullets that I mentioned. I do not just wipe my brow and brush it off as "at least it killed" I have seen all manner of life be killed with all manner of projectiles and I can tell you that there is always something that can do the job better.
