    162gr eldx

    I know there’s a hundred threads with load information with this etc but what are peoples real world experiences? I’ve had mixed results. The eldx seems to get reviews in other calibres but mixed in 7 rem mag. I have had several good kills even at closer ranges (30-200m). Other times I’ve lost animals that have been hit hard and found either fragments of bone or nothing at all. I was thinking it could be shot placement until this winter I shot a bull tahr at 400m. Was slightly quartering away and I hit him behind the front shoulder and into off side. Projectile preformed like a varmint round, huge damage on entry and found the copper jacket under the skin on the far side. The bull ran about 250m bedded down and expired after a few minutes. Shot a spiker recently 300m high shoulder bang flop. Found projectile under skin on opposite side almost completely separated, just a tiny bit of lead in bottom of the cup. Anyone else had similar results?
