I used the 175 LRX last year to "drop" a 585 lb, 7x8 Calif Tule Elk Bull. The bull was ~240 yd away and he moved some just as I shot... hit him at the last rib, missing all vital organs and bone but must have hit a major artery(ies). Shot from a 300 SAUM w/ a muzzle velocity of ~2950 fps from a standing position off shooting sticks. He went down and got up 3 times before staying down. I did get get another shot into his neck during a down period. Not my best shooting... but he didn't travel more than 10 yds.
If you don’t mind the question, what is your COAL and load data? Going to try this bullet in a Rem 700 300 SAUM myself. Thanks!
