Thread: .284 ELD-X Close Range Blow Up

Did you actually necropsy it? To be honest its mostly lungs up that far forward and lung shots dont kill all that quick or dont give dramatic deaths from my experience. It just sounds like the typical reaction to that sort of shot. I would be shocked if it didnt make it through the maybe 5 inchs of shoulder meat to hit what was behind (either lungs or nothing important).

Once i started cutting animals id shot back layer by layer i was often suprised at what i found. Provides good data too.
