I had used eldx for the last couple years out of 6.5 prc, tried ELDM this year due to a tighter group and from info ive gathered from this site as well as from listening to various podcast. Below are the photos from this year's antelope harvest. Ranged at 502 while the buck was bedded, dialed and waited for a shot. Buck stood up and moved quartering away. Settled in for the shot and he dropped on the spot. Noticed some death thrashes as approached. Impact was about 5 inches higher than what I wanted and had entered thru front should before going thru the neck and exiting. Re ranged to shooting location and was closer to 475 than 500 yards which explained the bullet placement. Was more than impressed with the 147 ELDM and the carnage that it imposed. Tiny hole on entrance and then about 2 inches into impact you can see where the bullet expanded and carried a solid 2-3 hole completely thru and exited. Will be using going forward for the amount of hide, meat and bone it went thru it will have no problem on anything in North America when put in the proper location.
