ELD-Ms Work.

[Wright406]

I’ve waited a few kills to post my successes but the ELD-M bullets. They are no longer just “match” for me. In the last two seasons my wife and I have had nothing but success. 1 antelope, 3 deer so far ( hopefully a bull with the 7PRC) all dead on arrival with less than 50 yards from where shot.

Distances for kills, 250, 425, 525 and 530.

Shot my 2024 mule deer this last weekend with a perfect heart shot and I know have no worries about the ELD-M at correct distances.

What was going on with that bucks lower jaw?

That first buck is a dandy!! ELDM’s are simply devastating also.

Congrats. My results have mirrored yours. Of maybe two dozen different projectiles I’ve used on game, the 6mm 108 and 6.5mm 147 ELD-Ms have impressed me most. I think the furthest an animal has gone is 10 yards after impact.

For sure. That was this years buck. Got lucky

Man, it was a nasty nasty puss infection the size of a softball or larger. Pretty gross.

Murder bullets.

If I could hijack a bit....
I intend to shoot factory ammo in a 22 Creed on deer and antelope. Max 300 yards

Those are some great pictures! I will be trying the 168gr ELDM out of a 308 for black bear this spring.

You'll be fine with either. Personally, I'd lean toward the ELD-M. Oddly enough, based on the performance of other calibers in the M and X family, the M seems to be the better hunting bullet.
