[QUOTE="North Idaho Hunter, post: 1265831, member: 73428"] This past season I observed family along with my friends using my rifles testing ELD match bullets on game. 2 Elk and 1 deer taken with 285 grain ELD match launched out of a 338 RUM at 2825 FPS. Bullet proves to be very explosive with minimal penetration. (didn't expect it too) 1st elk-350 yards, heart shot, bullet found on offside hide weighed 140 grains. 2nd elk-20 yards, neck shot, pass through, 1 inch entrance 5 inch exit. Deer-764 yards, high shoulder/spine had 3 inch exit, almost severing the entire spinal column. 2 elk and 1 deer taken with 140 ELD match launched out of a 6.5 creedmoor at 2725 FPS. 1st elk-250 yards, shot was too far back in the gut, full pass through with 2 inch exit. (new shooter, too excited) 2nd elk-212 yards, high shoulder shot, jacket separation with lead core exiting out the other high shoulder blade on the off side. Deer-354 yards, perfect behind the crease of the shoulder, 1 inch entrance (hit rib) complete jacket separation along with fragmentation-lead core exited. After a full year of family and friends taking game with the ELD match, I have found these to work exceptionally well when placed right. One should note these are very explosive, while I do not think one should hit heavy bone with these, they have continually shown they can penetrate adequately enough to reach the vitals when kept under 2700 FPS. the fragmentation of the bullets show extensive wounding to the lungs making for quick clean kills when placed right. I put them right into the same category for terminal ballistics of the berger hunting VLD. [/QUOTE]
