180 ELDM Terminal performance.

[huntnful]

Killed a big bodied buck with the 180 ELDM. Been super happy with the performance of this bullet so far.

Better BC than most 30 cal bullets, devastating wound channels and lower recoil than the big 30’s.

Rifle is a 7-300 Norma Mag Improved built by @barehandlineman at High Voltage Armory. Really pleased with this cartridge/bullet combo.

100% agree! I have been using them in my 7SAUM for multiple mule deer in the last few years and they got the job done quick at varying distances.

And nice buck!

We need a report on the Nimrod stock.

Looks like the bullet worked but damn that seems destructive at those velocities

Good to hear! And thank you!

It's legit for sure. Palm swell is a little unnecessarily large, but still plenty comfortable and easy to shoot.

Yeah it's violent. Which is what I prefer. I honestly don't try to hit in the shoulder, because it does ruin a majority of the meat. It was super windy and it kept switching directions slightly, so I just held in the pocket, knowing it'd land in the vitals somewhere at that distance, and the bullet pushed into the shoulder.

Better to lose a shoulder than a deer. Great buck and good shooting

Thank you! Did the Euro mount today and got him up on the wall!

What is your twist rate. I'm thinking of having a 7 RUM built and have a 9 twist Proof. Thinking that with that much speed a 9 twist will stabilize the 180 ELD-M's .

9 twist is the way for the 180 eldm. I have a 28 nos
