ELDX in California? Don’t you have to use mono’s?

Background​

Effective July 1, 2019, nonlead ammunition is required when taking any wildlife with a firearm anywhere in California.

I ordered another 338 Ultra for my other 22 Creed so I don’t have to swap back and forth.

The wife and kid both shot antelope with the Creed a week or two ago. 85.5 Bergers @3060 FPS. Same performance I’ve seen from larger caliber Bergers on big game.

Thought this might come, just didn’t expect it to be first reply.

As a life long CA hunter who’s attended hundreds of wildlife management meetings with fish and game and the DNR (I still know many of those guys, whom all completely disagree with the regulation)…

Sometimes you need to take a stand against corrupt, political, and illogical regulations against hunters and hard working ranchers. Even if it means a potential $500 fine for first time offender (most fish and game guys won’t ever look at your ammo, let alone ticket you).

I’d recommend doing some research on why this regulation was signed, it will baffle you.

If anyone would like to PM me to discuss, I won’t reply to this topic in any threads moving forward.

Thanks.

Didn’t mean to cause anything. Been a while since I lived there and paid attention. In the beginning if I’m not wrong you only had to use mono in certain areas (A zone maybe) and could still use other projectiles elsewhere.

Hey, if the other side can destroy public and private property in the name of "civil disobedience", who am I to complain about shooting some animals in Commiefornia using bullets that actually work for the same reason.

Looks like my 22CM likes the 80 ELDX better than 88 ELDM. I need to try another powder for velocity with the 80.

I’ve tried H4350, H1000, 6.5 StaBALL with the 88 getting >1.5 MOA as well as GM210M and CCI200.

I’d just shoot and kill with the 80 ELDX if I were you. Mine is 3 for 3 on big game…

.Moose. 523 yards. 2190ish impact velocity.
.Black Bear. 130ish yards (never ranged). 2,900ish impact velocity.
.Mule Deer 630 yards. 2150ish impact velocity.

All one shot kills.
