Broadside, Aimed middle middle, hit where I was aiming.

That 95 LRX is a dang killer. They are one of my favorite ones for the 6CM.

Got a chance to test the 108 ELDm at a high velocity impact, a doe came out at about 10 yards. Hit her quartering away from me, and impressively the bullet exited the neck. I was definitely surprised it held together just enough...

6mm creed, 108 ELDm, impact velocity was approximately 2975 fps, I was slightly elevated, so the angle was down from about 5 feet above ground level.

Pretty much toasted the shoulder. But because I didn't hit the spine, she actually ran about 20-30 yards. Just goes to show you, unless you hit the CNS, they will run, at least a bit.
