    Just wanna say how impressed I am with the 150gn eldx pills, unfortunately absolutely destroyed the front shoulders of both the fallow but dropped them on the spot, the first one hit solid bone and by the time it was in the far shoulder it was in a lot of pieces, both shoulders and the heart were a mess of black jelly, the second went through just slightly behind the shoulder blade and slightly lower and passed through leaving an exit wound slightly smaller than a golf ball with an equal amount of black jelly front shoulder meat, unfortunately we lost the front shoulders of both animals but that's OK I imagine these rounds will be just as devastating on reds, both these fallow were quite small possibly yearlings

    you cant make an omlet without breaking eggs Mate..... they sound like they are just the ducks nuts....we need to shoot more hinds ,so if front ends get poked in process,so be it.Im sure if range was shorter you will take neck option and retrieve more when its available.

    Yup I would. Dead on the spot is still preferred to injured and running away
