So I had my son and wife use the 6.5 Creedmoor this deer season. Both shot deer with the 143 grain ELD-X. Wife's deer was a completely broadside double lung and the sons was quartering away double lung into the off shoulder, both shots 150-160 yards. Each of their shots had the bullet defrag, the wife's had 3 small exit holes in a 6" circle, the sons bullet was in many pieces and most lodged into the off shoulder or ribs. Both deer died pretty quick but I was a little disappointed they busted up so easily. Anyone else experience this with the ELD-X? What ammo are you guys having good luck holding together? Most of our shots would be under 600 yards and 90% would be under 200 yards at deer sized animals.
