Not the ELD-X, but I’ve seen the 180 ELD-M impact a bull moose on a frontal shot at ~30 m. The bullet was launched at 2930 fps at the muzzle. Impact was above the brisket, and the bullet penetrated about 4’ of moose before exiting at the rear of the rib cage. Moderate wound channel and the bull had 4 hooves in the air about as fast as I could blink after the shot. Don’t see that all that often with moose. I was quite impressed with both the bull’s reaction and the bullet performance.
Eld-m stands for murder.
Eld-x stands for don't use.
I tried to like the eldx. Fly great. But was finicky at different ranges. My experience was sst like up close and little to be desired past 250. This was from a 6.5x284 running 2930. Went to 129 interlocks and turned into a lightning bolt. Shoot a heavy interlock and forget about it. Your cartridge won't look "cool" bit it'll dang sure work. If you must use a tipped bullet, maybe an accubond?I'd recommend Barnes but I have no experience with solids.
