    I expect that the 52 grain going faster might have been better.

    Someone quoted using them above. I’m sure they will be very door. The 80grn eldm are excellent.

    Even the 52grn eldm work ok. I’ve shot the odd deer with them when doing wallaby. Neck and lung shots. I think there is a pic of a neck shot one in this thread.

    Projectiles in the heavier weights are hard to come by here at the moment, but I’ve got onto a few boxes of the 75gn .
    If they are hopeless I’ll blame you

    I have a box of 73gr I'm loading at the moment, I will keep posted once I start using them on game.
    When hunting think safety first

    If you find them not to your liking I'll happily relieve you of the burden

    They should behave like the eldm earlier in this thread there’s examples of the 80eldm pulled from Tahr and red deer from memory

    Edit the ones I’m referring to were 80gn not 75gn my bad but worth a look
