This surprises me. Two years ago my party killed 4 Mulie bucks, all with the 7mm-08 using 150 eldx. Nothing needed a second shot. That same year I shot a cow elk at 375 yards, 7mm Rem Mag, 162 eldx, using the above load.

Note the shot placement.

The bullet center punched the leg bone just below the joint, blew through a rib, transversed both lungs, nicked the other rib, then lodged under the hide on the off side. Held together very well.

It’s the first eldx we’ve caught.


Edit to ask, what’s the muzzle velocity of the 28 Nosler, and how fast do you suppose the bullets were going at impact?

Looks like good performance to me. Thanks for the load data too.
