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

For what it's worth, here are three that I have recovered. Should point out that generally they pass completely through with a nice ~1" exit.
6.5 CM 143gr ELD-X, Hornady factory ammo.

From top to bottom:
1. 38 yards blacktail buck. Facing me, shot under chin. Broke neck.
2. 168 yard Antelope buck . Again facing me, shot in brisket, penetrated to right side ham.
3. 286 yard blacktail buck. First shot was a pass through just behind the heart. The buck, however, stood up afterwards and started awkwardly making it towards the woods from the clear cut. This poorly placed bullet broke both femurs adjacent to the pelvis.
