Posting from deer camp and will try to put up pics later. Shot a 225 pound mule deer at 380 yards with a 180. Slight quartering shot. Bullet entered 3" behind shoulder and did not reach opposite shoulder. Entrance wound about 3" diameter after hitting a rib. Did not inspire any confidence but did kill it immediately. Will try one more on another buck later this year but so far I'd be very nervous using on elk or a deer shoulder.
Great intel. You’re right, if it won’t transit a deer, it might be a little shaky on elk.

Thanks for the info. Kind of what I thought. I'll stick with the ELDX, personally....
From the couple I’ve seen filed in half I’m not sure what the difference is between the M and X. Neither of them are deep penetrators in the water jugs. Their “ring” doesn’t hold onto much..
