I've had to take second shots on deer and elk at close range because the eldx decided to self destruct on impact rather than penetrate and destroy vitals. I'm not the only person who has had this experience
Oh the magical “didn’t penetrate”. Do you have pictures of there 2” deep wound created by ELD-X’s?
The TA I recovered from my 400yd shot created more than adequate entry and exit wounds.
400 yards is not long range.
The goal isn't to wreck as much meat as possible. The goal is to create adequate damage to drop the animal quickly, no more no less.
Now I’m sure that you’ve killed more animals with TA’s that have- as I only used them for two seasons from 6.5cm and 300WM between 20 and 676 yards on deer and elk. However, time to incapacitation and distance traveled after both lungs were penetrated is substantially longer than other bullets.
Not sure how that's erroneous, but you can keep crying. I'm gonna stick with what works for me.
The erroneous portion is saying that ELD-X’s are failing to penetrate a whopping 3 inches of tissue.
