Thread: ELD-Match for hunting?

Got a yearling hind this afternoon with the 300 Win Mag and 178 gr ELD X at about 70 - 80 yards, was a shoulder shot and it dropped instantly, picture is of lungs from animal, hole through the inside of the chest cavity was about one and a half to two inches in diameter on both sides. These ELD X bullets are working well so far, need a few long shots now to see if they are equally as good at range.

That load of yours with the 145grn in .270 @ 3144 fps would be hard to beat wouldn't it @Mooseman ?

Just finished cutting up yearling and this is the exit hole coming out of the chest cavity from the 178 gr ELD X.
