Thread: ELD-Match for hunting?

@300_BLK

Hello everyone! Reviving this thread from the dead…
Just an update about the ELD-M. Not that i have shot that many animals with it but as per my report (link somewhere in early messages) today i have the opportunity to shoot a young red stag at a distance of 214yd, it did hit and the deer "FLOP" on the spot, shot placement was RIGHT on the front shoulder, the projectile made a small entrance and expand to a cavity around 3-4 inches as it enter the chest, the opposite shoulder had a good damage but NO exit wound… during the wound inspection i stick my finger on the hole and found small fragments of the jacket meaning it very likely disintegrated before even hit the skin.
Please, don't take it as a "solid" example of performance but with a goat kill at 645 meters and a red dear at 214yd i think it will "do the job" if the shot is placed correctly.

I will keep informed if i shoot anything else again.

I have used the 30 cal 225 ELDMs in a 300 Norma Mag. Have shot 4 animals, three dropped straight away while one stood awhile before it expired. Here is a video of a hind at 439 yards. It isn't the best video quality but you get the idea.
