There was an old thread on Scout regarding the efficacy of the ELD-X and I wanted to revive it here. Last year I bought a GAP 6.5 SAUM and had Copper Creek load up some of these. A month after I received, I was invited on a doe culling mission in S. TX. I shot three does and a pig, so the bullet was ultimately lethal but I felt the performance was lackluster. On the pig 150-175 LB Boar, I put a solid shoulder shot on him, then watched him literally flip, spin around then keel over. One doe, put one in her shoulder watched her limp for 30ish yards then keel over. Another, right behind the shoulder, nice exit wound, complete pass thru but she ran 75ish jumped into the air then keeled over. Shots on these animals were between 135 and 175ish. Long story short, good shot placement but no DRT. I'm going to continue to use this combo for this season. However, just curious if anyone else using this caliber/bullet combo or something similar had lackluster performance with this bullet. Or am I an anomaly?
