    Try the 145 gr ELDX at that speed should hold together fine.

    Yup had a great run with the eldx in win and wsm 270 they are very versatile and kill deer well, I have shot deer from 140yards out to 409 yards they have all died

    I was thinking of trying some of these myself. How bigger sample are we talking about here @dannyb?

    Yip, another vote for ELD-X. Mickey Duck is bang on with the Partition recommendation too. They’re old and unfashionable, but they are lethal at close to mid-range.

    No need for high BC, tipped, Gucci bullets for close up work.
