That is surprising to hear for a premium bullet. Last year my hunting partner took a bull at 200 yards with 220gr ELD-x bullets out of a 300 win mag. For a fragile cup and core bullet it did pretty good. Busting two shoulders and bullet came to rest on the offside. If i recall the recovered bullet weighed 120gr.
