Not to be outdone by Jordan. (LOL) Hundred yardish impact velocity at about 2750-2800. Blew through ribs slight quartering away to the right, souped the lungs, and bloodshot up between body and both front legs heavily. Heart had a triangular hole about a cm wide? One tiny bullet fragment in offside hide. This little alfalfa eating 1x2 guy was limping along at the the wrong time and place with an archery wound to hind calf (right) and been walking with that hoof upturned for awhile. Glad to have put him down. First whitetail BTW. We're still grinning. Actually always grinning looking at the ridiculous G7.

Thanks!

Shot a whitetail doe tonight, close like 80 yards. Carnage as expected. Two ribs in and two out busted up, souped one lung, no big exit hole in the hide, just about dime size. Not the intent with this rifle, just close ones appeared where long shots are more likely, or so I was thinking. Love the rifle previously mentioned. Really dig the Timney Calvin Elite two-stage trigger.

The Horn 180 is listed as a Match bullet. Anyone used it on game?

Have you read this thread? There’s a bunch of game taken.

Well. Found this. Small whitetail pictured above, slight angle away, 125ish yards, about 2800fps impact. Ribs, two busted both in and out and the bullet stopped next to bone on offside leg. DRT but obviously not ideal maybe. Firsts not seconds. So - is that awesome 500 yard 10" drift at 90 degree 10 MPH wind figure worth it, or?

Some of the bullet exited, though?

IMO, yes it’s worth it. You just have to be slightly specific about shot placement. The ELD/AM/VLD behaves differently than a piledriving TSX, and should be treated accordingly.

Which is why I carry a mag full of the TTSX in the rifle for jump/quick close shots, with a few wind-cheaters handy for long shots that may present themselves wink

The 30 meter 180ELD on moose was more for R&D than matching the bullet to the shot.

Thanks for the kind words fellas. Calling that guy in was pretty fun. Always a rush when 1500 lbs of muscle is at 30m, with a desire to either make you a lady moose, or smash you into the ground. I’m not sure which would be worse.

Pretty sure the smashing. LOL


It made it through the body both sides then got caught in the inside of the offside leg. shocked

Anyone shooting these in a 280/280AI?

I'm thinking R22 would be a good powder to try.


Despite my user name, no I am not from Texas.........

Rl26 seems to be doing very well in 280ai. Personally I think the 280 is at it's best with 160-168 weight range.

deer will survive lots of things. like that archery injury. Not sure how we know its archery but regardless.

ELDs are a bit expansive for me. The amax used to work ok, but only when driven slowly, like 75 amax out of 223 and at least 250 plus yards.

Have been watching a buddy running eld X out of 6.5 creed moor and he was having some excess damage too.

Regardless if the bullet does what you want it to, thats a good thing. The best thing is we have so many choices performance wise.
