No big bucks with it yet but I wouldn't hesitate to use it on one.
Going to be shooting 88s this year although the 75s were fantastic.

Now that is a very convincing post! Congrats for all the great shots..

I'm just starting with the 85.5 Berger bullet which shoots very well. Maybe I'll toss one at a whitetail just for the heck of it.

While I have not tried the 75 graIn ELDm yet, have had excellent luck with the Berger 75 grain VLD in both 8 twist 22-250's and 220 Swift on both deer and antelope. The same holds true with the 62 grain Barnes TTSX.... I have yet to see where I felt I lacking firepower with any of these bullets.
