[QUOTE="quigley257, post: 2933388, member: 84442"] I'm wasn't super impressed with the only deer I shot with an ELD-X. It was a Whitetail buck shot at 375 yards with a 6.5 Creedmoor. My brother ranged it for me, I dialed and squeezed off the shot. The shot felt good, but the deer gave no indication of being hit. My brother asked me if I had missed. I said I didn't think so. The buck wasn't alarmed at all so we continued to watch it as I cycled another round into the chamber. He proceeded to walk about 10 yards and then lay down as if going to sleep. I was getting ready to shoot again when he put his head down and we could see it kind of go limp and watch as the rack rolled to one side. He was dead. Upon gutting we found that the 143 ELD-X had passed through, catching both lungs. I had hit just a bit too high to hit the heart. There was almost no blood from the point of impact and including where he lay down. It was all inside. Had the deer been alarmed, I can imagine how far he could have traveled before tipping over for good. [/QUOTE]
