Fuck yeah!!

Great shooting. Tried the Amax in it?

Good shooting and bloody nice rig.

Just needs a Terminator on the end

How did you find terminal performance at that range on autopsy ? much shock or fragments or minimal bruising and a hole threw?

What was impact velocity?

Na I didn't bother, amaxs are bloody good though. I think they perform pretty similar anyway so no biggie

I find the factory brake works bloody well really, still boots but nothing to cry about. 200's are going 3030 at muzzle. It went through but made a hell of a mess of far shoulder and brisket on exit. Fallow are light boned thin skinned buggers any projectile makes a mess so best to head/neck shoot em. I used elds on a few big reds and they certainly do the trick at any range. At that distance they were going 2050 fps

Cheers, I have never used the eld myself but have read many many times they take a few inches of penetration before expansion compared to say a amax or sst.....Would you say that is correct?

yea perhaps. Ive found sst to pencil straight through so have to hit bone and the amaxs to be a bit explosive (they make a good mess). same old story though, gota hit em where it hurts

Sleeker than a bejazzled otter!

I think you should definitely give elds a burn as a hunting pill anyway

The amount of time/shots I have spent hunting/shooting in the last year no point experimenting at the moment but life is in a constant state of flux and I am sure balance will restore in the force.

Nice rifle and good performance of the new ELD-X, will have to try some soon.

That heads a bit more spread out now...
