That would not be my first choice, either, but that is a fairly heavy-for-caliber bullet and should do well. I have not shot anything with the ELDX, but have read both good and bad. I know one guy that shot a Nebraska cow elk with one a couple years back. The shot was only 80 yards, but it had two holes, and the exit hole was fairly large, I was told. That was a 143 out of a 6.5x55 AI, so the velocity was pretty close to 3000. I would try to keep it off the shoulder, if possible.
