I'm sure they do drop them with exit wounds like that. As a meat hunter I want a bullet to do all the damage internally and preferably not somewhere in the neighbouring district. The GameChanger looks like a very good large game (150kg+++) bullet but gut feel is in 6mm and 6.5mm a softer fragmenting bullet is a better option for fast killing. What has changed in deer design that needs a harder bullet than ProHunter or GameKing?!

Plenty of other options out there for you then @Flyblown... Sounds like you are more than happy with your current selection of pro hunters and gamekings, which, by the way, are legendary bullets! Why not stick with what works for you? Of course what works for you isn't always someone else's cup of tea.
I think you'll find the reason for the discussion on this forum, and this thread in particular, is for those guy's looking for real world experience's of something a bit different.

Cheers

A bit different to what Jared?

Look I see what you're saying, but I just don't buy the underlying design premise that a high BC, hard, controlled expansion style bullet is a great idea, that changes any games. The high bc only helps >400-500m or whatever the relevant range is for the calibre and weight you're looking at. This bullet on our deer at extended ranges - if shot placement isn't spot on - is just going to sail straight through and a lot of the energy is lost. We can agree that proper long range shooting with hard bullets isn't a good idea?

I put my hand up - no, I haven't used them. Happy to be shot down for that reason alone. I can see you're very pro Sierra with a lot of interaction from them on your Instagram, promoting the brand. I love Sierra bullets and have used them for over 30 years, and I think I do know the reason for this thread in particular... to discuss pros and cons of new designs and risks and hopefully sharing a bit of real world experiences with all sorts of bullet designs in specific applications. Some of us will agree that the new kid on the block must be great across the board, others will be quite skeptical, like you were about the ELD-X!
