Thread: 162 ELD-M close range performance 284win

I run the 160gr TMK from my 284 at around 2830fps.

Which is essentially for all intents and purposes the same bullet.

I would strongly advise against using this round up close.

Shot a 11 pointer last year in a area where I thought there'd be longer shots.

120y in the shoulder and massive entry wound. Bullet blow up by definition.

The shock dropped him but I had to do a finisher.

You'd be better off using something like a partition or hotcore as a sub 200 round.

Or go to something like a 168gr ABLR or 165gr Bondstrike as a all-rounder.

The latter of which I'm going to do.

Had no issues with them at 3000 up close
