Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game ELDX bullets and close shots

Had the opportunity to partake in a moose hunt last week. My friend got the chance to test his load on a bull and thought id share some of the details.


300 WIN Mag

24" inch barrel

1:10" twist rate

220gr ELD-x

MV: 2800 FPS


Shot took place at 200 yards, bullet hit center shoulder and penetrated to the off side. 2 Shoulders taken out. Very violent entry, almost the size of a tennis ball, lots of damage.

Core and jacket stayed together and ended up weighing 120grs. About 55% weight retention.
