Thread: Loading 162 ELDX vs ELDM ?

There is something about the 162x.

My experience mirrors Kelton however I was shooting them slow at 2500fps.

Never had a 1 shot kill from 100-400m. I put 3 into a spikers shoulder because he wouldn't drop. All rounds were centre shoulder.

Shot another spiker at 100 that didn't even react, thought I missed then it drt with a second.

Walked over to a hind that ran 10m and seemed to drop only to find her alive and needed to be headshot. That was the final straw to switch to eldm and the results were day and night.

I've never needed a followup with eldms on maybe 20 deer/tahr.

I am puzzled as to why they perform so poorly. The eldx was very very accurate in my rifle and was consistent shooting past 1k so it was a shame.

It could be me, shot placement etc however I have no confidence in them now and a completely different experience after ditching them.
