6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

Have you recovered any from further shots? Wondering how much expansion you get at +-1800 fps

I have not, 350 was the furthest. It is a valid question. People think the ELD-M is going to explode at normal range, but I think it's perfect at creedmoor speeds. I would also be interested to see what the bullet looks like after a slower impact.

When I was prepping for my moose hunt I shot a bunch of deer with 147 ELD, maybe 17 or so, all 50-175 yards. 2400-2600 fps.

They died.

The moose shot hit around 2000 fps (500 something yards) Classic double lung with exit and a lotta blood in the cavity. I don't recall finding any fragments. https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/6-5mm-projectile-for-moose.363599/post-3867872

Everything I've shot with my 6.5CM using the 147 ELDM has been a complete pass through. This includes antelope at 500 and deer at 600.
