My experience with the Hornady 147 ELD-M on game. *A Lot of Shot Videos and photos*

Shot a whitetail with one @ 465yds. 2950MV. It performed well. roughly 80 grains retained weight. Nice mushroom.

I run this bullet from a 6.5 SAUM at 3050 fps. Bullet has performed very well on Oklahoma whitetails from 500 yards and in. Furthest shot I have had so far.
All deer shot were DRT.

Last years mulie @ 811yds- 147 out of a 6.5 prc, flawless performance. That's the only one with 6.5 but countless elk and deer with 7mm & 30 cal. Eldm is the only bullet I hunt with

What I'd like to know are all of Cody Adams' family great shots (including his 12 year old niece), or are they shooting an outstanding rifle? Wow!
