Thread: ELD-Match for hunting?

Hi Mac,
About 230 mtr and I should not really have taken the shot as I had not zeroed then yet. Only done shots testing for pressure.
I was shooting for dog food. From 2 I took 3 legs each. And 1 I took the lot. One of the ones I just took legs from I had gut shot and things where covered in gut liquid. The other the off side shoulder was smashed up and had copper in it.
One dropped on the spot, One went 10 meters and the gut shoot one required a second shot to finish Had gut hanging out and blood in the mouth. Probably traveled 50 meters but just went back and forward on one terrace. Would bed down then would run a short distance when I approached.

As I noted they are not as destructive on these small animals as my 87 gr VLD Bergers. They looked to be over half way through before they started to come apart. The bergers would be coming apart as they existed the near side rib and both lungs would be destroyed.
I have had Red deer run 70 mtr in this condition. Fallow and goats tend to drop as the nerve block are taken out as well.
NB IF your shot is a little high you have a good chance of spinal damage dropping them on the spot as anything with 4" of the bullet is torn up.
