You will probably get a wide variety of answers and they are all probably going to be correct. Shot placement will change a lot here but I had a mountain goat that ate 3 of them before he went down. He didn't move after the first one but he just stood there with legs locked. I have also had a bull that dropped in his tracks first shot. It seems like it depends on the day whether they drop instantly but I have never had an animal move more than a couple of yards after being hit with one!
The goat was 450 and if I remember correctly it didn't exit. The bull was around 200 and it exited. Created a pretty mean exit wound though.
Understood. I guess my question is would the 180 eld-m fit what you are describing above. I have never used them in my 300wsm or 300wm. I am wondering if anyone has shot this bullet at 300 or less in a 28 nosler and what they have experienced for performance. With their construction I am assuming they would work well beyond that range. Thanks for your reply.
I think it would be fine based on other bullets I have shot game with. I do t have any first hand experience with this exact scenario, but the 180 7mm eldm is a really long and heavy for caliber bullet. It should work fine even though it may be a little devastating it have enough length to penetrate.
