This year in camp 5 cow elk taken with the 143 gr. ELD-X. Distances ranged from ~170 - ~260 yards. 2 taken with factory ammo, 3 with handloads. All one shot kills, all exited.
Man, that's good to hear, I loaned my 6.5 swede to a buddy, set him up with a good rangefinder and dope card, went out West for antelope, got his two, then loaned the rifle out to others in camp, a total of 6 antelope fell to the 6.5 Swede and 147gr Hornady ELD's, no bullet recoveries, longest shot was 564 yards, damn glad to know they'll work on cow elk too, said old rancher that owns the land out there has some monster muleys on it, they'll be after those tags next year, I need to see if I can tag along too.
