Here is one that hit a deer through the front of the chest and penetrated about 14 inches. The shot was approx 70 yards from a 300 Win mag at 3000 fps muzzle velocity.

Retained weight is 48 grains.

So the deer died?



P

The deer did die as a point in fact. That is how the bullet was able to be recovered.

Complete "bullet failure"... Complete, I say....

Looks like it worked just fine.

Enjoy your steaks.

GREAT performance from an ELD via 300wm @ 70yds. .

Personally I won't use these for elk because my elk shots are just as likely to be at 30 yards as at 300.

I might use them in my 308 win starting at 2660 fps.

The 212 Eld X might be better suited to the 300 Win Mag.

The 178's do shoot under 1" in this 300 Win mag at 100 yards.

Thanks for sharing the pic. I'd agree with you on the 212 maybe being a better fit, and the 178 likely may be a good 308 / 30-06 bullet for medium game.

Well we got partitions accubonds lrx ttsx and so on
