[QUOTE="Allen Kitts, post: 2857402, member: 103317"] As stated every bullet has at one time or another not worked the way it was designed to. I have killed lots of mule deer with a 175 Grain ELD-X out of my 7LRM, no issues at all out to almost 700 yards. I went to New Zealand this year with a buddy, both of us shooting 6.5 PRC's. I was shooting 140 Grain Accubonds and my buddy was shooting 143 ELD-X bullets. I went 4 for 4 with one shot kills from 312 to 487. He had to shoot his Stag three times and his Tahr twice, the bullets just exploded on both animals shoulders. Very sad outcome when you think of the game animals and what they had to endure due to poor performance. Hard to say why this happens but it just does. If you are happy with how they shoot in your rifle I would use them, aim for the boiler room and cut her loose! I would stay away from the shoulder shots though. [/QUOTE]
