    Eld-VT

    Has anyone tried these bullets in the wild in any caliber on any 4 legged game?

    Got some of the 6.5 100 grain loaded @ 2600 in my 16 inch mini action, hoping at Grendel speeds, sub 250m they might go okay.

    Have shot a few wallaby from 150m-260m and got full pass throughs, not crazy expansion by any means.

    Cheers

    Hornady offer the same bullet in loaded 6.5 Creedmoor ammo. It might need that extra bit of speed to get it to start fragmenting, as underneath the jacket and tip is meant to be just a flat meplat of lead - no deep hollowpoint.

    It should still be doing the damage on roos at 2600?

    When I get around to it, I'll grab a box and give them a go in a 6.5 PRC. Could be a very different story at +3400.
