Interesting. How many animals did you shoot with the 145 eldx? I have heard mixed reports about their performance.

Couldn't say exactly but plenty from 4 yards to about 420yards all died within 10m of being hit, most bang flops, no complaints from me about performance.
This was a mix of Fallow and reds.

I've shot alot of the 145gr from my 270wsm. Everything falls over dead. However, when recovering the projectiles, the cup and core are normally separated. The lead core is in very small parts, in a large wound channel.

I'm not a fan of have the cup and core separating, but the result in every case I've had is that the deer or tahr is in a heap just below the point the it was standing.
