Mate put me onto the speers due to the higher bc and I was impressed, getting nice 1/2 moa and same hole groups most of the time, 2 inch group at 460 yards, but found maybe 1 out of 8 projectiles were quite inconsistent and the coal changed when seating. Have now been put onto the eldms going 2660, same hole group, as I chase sika in bush majority of the time with the odd long range shot. Hopefully they get the job done on a good sika stag!
    Ive shot about a dozen deer out to 475 yards with the 7mm 162 ELDM and have been very impressed (speed 3K). Passed through a solid Fallow buck at 250. Poll axed a Sika at 250. Big solid Red stag at 350 etc. All one shot kills. Plenty of penetration but no pass throughs on the bigger reds.
