.25 Cal (Quarter Bore) / Big Game Success - 25 Creed, 25-284, 25-06, 25 PRC, 25 SAUM

I don't know how many animals I have on my 25-06, but here are a few (shots from 100yd out to 450yd). Bullets used have ranged from 100gr TSX, 110 ELDX, and 115 BT; the 100gr Barnes being my favorite. If I could shoot the heavier BC bullets I'd try it. But for me, and the distances I shoot, I'm not sure they'd really be worth it.

Sorry I’m digging up the past here but how did you like the 110 eldx. I might give them a try in my weatherby this year

They were factory loadings and shot ok. I wasn't too impressed with the performance at the time. But I'm going through a mental crisis when it comes to bullet design/ performance lately (thanks to Rokslide and S2H). So maybe they performed as they were supposed to. Current load is a 115Berger VLD, but I haven't put one through an animal yet.

Does anyone have any on game experience with 110gr eldx at higher impact velocity. I tried doing some searches but haven’t had much luck and I would like to give them a try on white tails out of my 257 weatherby

Somebodies gotta test em

They'll work fine. I would expect impacts at high velocity will be pretty devastating, personally I would try to keep it off the shoulder best I could for meat damage reasons.

I’ve shot several white tails with them. They work just fine, violent expansion up close. If you shoot one thru the shoulders at less than100 yds you may lose a lot of meat. The 110 Tipped Game King ,110 Accubonds, and 115 Nosler BT are less frangible and may be a better choice for the impact velocities you can get with the Weatherby. The ELDX is very accurate out of my 25-06, and a great option for someone who doesn’t reload.
