I shot a couple of fellow recently with 73gr ELD. One at a touch under 300m, and at 100m. Both of them were high shoulder shots. In both cases the bullets performed identically - blew through the scapula, leaving about a 30mm hole, completely disintegrated and spalled bone and bullet fragments through the top of the lungs. There was nothing on the off side. Both deer died right where they were. The 300m shot was particularly satisfying as it just flopped over lazily.
MV 2681fps from a 16" barrel (Utas straight pull)
