Hard to argue the ballistics of the 143gr in 6.5 prc. However, lots of folks claiming that it falls apart pretty bad. Non to worried most whitetail only on something bigger could exist a problem. Hunting brings out the worst in people.

Seems like Shaw said he wasn't satisfied with the ELD-X performance on game from his vi.5PRC and switched to Accubonds for a tougher bullet. We're non dead. We only aroma that way.

All three bucks were eye/lung shot, a couple does that did run were centre shot with no blood to trail; luckily the does were shot in a big ag field. The bucks I but lucked upwardly walking trails and looking for running sign and institute two of the three. Buzzards found the tertiary cadet. I for certain will non shoot the ELD-10 again; accubond or Nosler I thinking.

It killed the chit out of the iv whitetails I shot with them. Had ane DRT (175# buck), one fabricated it 10 yards (100# doe), another 50 yards (187# buck) and another 70 yards (120# doe). No blood on the footing because of the pocket-sized exit wounds. The DRT was a loftier shoulder shot and the leave hole on it still wasn't whatever bigger than my finger. The other 3 were lung shots. I've got a 140gr Nosler Accubond, a 142gr Nosler Long Range Accubond and a 120gr Barnes TTSX to endeavour out. I'm thinking the LR Accubonds are going to exist my whitetail go to.

Too much pulverisation and a hard tip the bullet could expand or expands but past 40-100 yards. Within that range a shoulder shot may exist best about middle ways up the body with ammo that will non fall apart. Non certain most that load, merely modern firearms and new loads could have the same issue the 300 WBY had on unsafe game. Some of the bullets didn't expand enough within l yards. In some cases a slower muzzle velocity does accept it's advantages under 100 yards. Some interested reads out in that location and a lot of interesting new ammo.

Like someone just walked through the woods with a red h2o hose... The only time I haven't had a good blood trail is when a doe jumped my shot. When the gun went off she was quartering away, and hit her in the back hip going in and the bullet was underneath the peel on the forepart shoulder of the opposite side. Then basically a diagonal path across trunk from dorsum hip to front end shoulder. Last edited by Hammertime7v2; 04/13/21 04:29 PM.

She ran probably 30-40 yards. Bolt front shoulders were trashed. Shouldn't happen considering I knicked a rib bone. Got a bunch of 140gr Accubonds loads from Unknown Munitions at present.

I've seen that at nether 75 yards with ELDMs, if hitting shoulders. I've never seen an ELDX (at Creedmoor velocities) open up anywhere nigh that much. I practise avert shooting shoulders with the ELDMs....simply even then, they've all exited. They're very destructive, but put low in the chest, I don't lose any meat. It'due south hard to have big exits or blindside/flops and NOT be destructive. It's hard to exist less destructive and accept good claret trails. I like accubonds and several other bullets, but my point with the ELDM at moderate velocities has always been that it'south overlooked as a adept deer bullet.
