Now if everyone would quit hijacking our precious 6.8 western thread 😂 -
Support for 6.8 western?
Yeah I have not taken pictures of my destroyed meat.. at the time I never guessed I'd need them as proof in an argument with some internet warrior. -Why would I lie to you about something so ridiculous 🙄 -what would i gain from fabricating such a story? -Hornady has many other great products... -

Kind of loosing sight of what this thread is though.. perhaps we need to start a new post? -

It is a fact that ELD-X fragments on impact.. I have lost quite a bit of meat because of those stupid bullets. Now over say 400 yards I think ELD-X is a good bullet because it doesn't have enough velocity anymore to fragment.. -

I can show you well documented tests the terminal ascent expands well at and over 1000 yards but doesn't frag upon impact at close ranges unlike the eldx. Bullets do not necessarily kill by fragmentation.. some do but the good ones dont. -

In person? None, I haven't yet taken large game with a terminal ascent only punched paper. I'm excited to see if what I've been researching is true. I do however have experience with ELD-X in 300 wm.. it's like a frag grenade. -

Yeah it might even be one of the best bullets for all around performance too. -

I likewise have gotten on the terminal ascent train. I would venture to say it's one of the best long range hunting bullets ever created all things considered. -

Here is a good article that relates to what we are discussing. ELD-X = cheasy bullet 😂 all jokes aside i dont like the fact that it is t designed for good penetration like on a quartering away shot. https://www.fieldandstream.com/guns/sectional-density-bullet-penetration-truths/ -

Did he say SD has nothing to do with terminal performance of a bullet? That's not true. -
Support for 6.8 western?
Yeah poor choice of words, either way rhe results were the same. -

I was there but in a different hunting party.. I didn't witness the trigger pull only saw the moose. -
Support for 6.8 western?
I wonder if the bullet missed the scapula? Maybe it just blew apart in the lungs and we assumed it was the 300 that killed it? There was no sign of the eldx.. maybe all the shrapnel came.out with the lungs upon gutting? -

I would think you would be right but none the less it happened.. Which is all besides the point that I made in my post about barnes needing to get on board already with the 6.8 western. I would think that they would have significant pull with brass suppliers. -
Support for 6.8 western?
Yeah you would think a 22 would blow through that no problem. However I think it's more to do with tissue mass in that area maybe? I don't know, more questions than answers here -
Support for 6.8 western?
It died.. was finished off with the 300 wm as stated in my previous response.. All I could figure is maybe the 140ish grain eldx didn't have enough mass to break the shoulder? It's a mystery to me I would never have guessed it to happen. But I've seen similar scenarios with varmit bullets on... -
Support for 6.8 western?
No sir I do not. Your going to have to trust me or don't on this one. All I know is one of my buddies hit 3 times in the shoulder and the moose acted like nothing happened so another buddy finished it off with the 300wm. They were all discussed with the 6.5 prc saying it's inadequate, I tried... -
Support for 6.8 western?
Well.. I have witnessed it in 6.5 prc explode on a moose scapula in 3 consecutive shots at around 150 yards.. that's all I have to say. Disappointing is an understatement.
