ELD-Ms Work.

[Dark timber]

Anyone with experience with the ELDM on an animal below 100 yards?

Last season my daughter shot a buck frontal at 50ish yds. He went over backwards and died in seconds. I never looked for the bullet.
Then she killed a cow elk at probably 70yds mostly broadside. The bullet exited after penetrating the onside shoulder blade and exiting taking out a rib. Total devastation inside the cavity. She went about 30yds, tipped over dead and slid down the hill a ways. I found some small fragments while butchering but it seems most of the bullet exited.
Both were shot with 140gr eld-m from a 6.5 creedmoor 2720fps

Used 140 eldm factory loads in 6.5cm this year for Iowa late January anterless season. 200 yards on the first one 30 yard recovery. second one (pictured) was 313 yards bang flop. Wish I took better picture of the wound channels but on the second one, it blew out the offside shoulder, which was what people said a 6.5cm with match bullets was incapable of
