I don't think it's even that popular now. Outside this forum, I've never met a person that would consider such a thing. I think the days of mega magnums, knock down power and pie plate at 100y accuracy are still very alive and well.

In the south there are a ton of 22-250. Lots of whitetail die to 22 cal bullets. I know more people that use them vs those that use 30 cals.

In his appearances on Exo's Hunt Backcountry podcast (probably my other favorite), Form speaks compellingly about the near total lack of evidence for shoulders stopping match bullets like the ELDM. Then I go on my 7PRC forums. For every 10 successful ELD posts I read I'll see one like this that gives me pause and keeps me reaching for Barnes LRX.

Curious how a bullet stopped in the shoulder but yet a bull stayed put? Does not compute. Must have damaged spine or got through the shoulder to keep the bull where it was. A bull can go a long ways on 1 shoulder.

175 ELDx are violent, that is true! A little more so than ideal for me.
