I have no experience with 175eldx although I’m keenly interested as I have a box I was going to work up loads for in a STW this winter. I will say I’ve seen a lot crazy things over the years. I saw a 180g partition at 06 velocity take a 90 degree turn on a mule deer hit behind the shoulder from about 45yds. I also remember a 200gr ballistic tip do the same thing on an elk at 400+. It hit the last rib on entry and it exited about 8” from the entrance. A small piece of jacket was found in the near lung which apparently slowed the elk enough that I was able to hit high in the neck as it walked straight away. My point is the improbable happens with living breathing flesh. Had I not experienced both, I’m not sure I would have believed either event.
