I shot 3 animals this year with same bullet and case. All were drt from about 40 ft head on with a bear to 450 on a big mature bull elk. I like them and they seem to work well
Just shot about 30 animals the last 2 weeks.
200gr eld-x factory 300 win mag tikka superlite
2 Tahr, 42 yards and 175.. 3 chamois.. 140 yards (just a guess) 275 and 328.. 25 goats or so yesterday. 8 yards to 860..Not impressed at all.
Shoots great groups. Not stoked on terminal performance. Won't upload pics because of expensive data but yeah under 200 yards the results were not impressive.
Back to Sierra soft tipped bullets for me.
Will update on medium sized deer but thinking of using my box of 165gr ppu lead bullets on a meat hunt and save the eld-x for A wallaby hunt.
On a side note I fell nearly 10 feet onto my swfa 3-15 in talley lightweight rings and rolled about 5 more times over another 50 feet before stopping.. dented the objective lens, tore me up but rifle held perfect zero and made more kills. Glass on the 3-15 kinda sucks but damn it only knocked the elevation turret -.2 mils and those are big ass knobs.
took a huge body bull elk this past fall at 231 and broke both shoulders and exited. Terminal damage was awesome. Never took a Step.
Only 20? Between me and friends probably over 150 kills with Accubonds in various cartridges. At least 40 by myself. I'm stayin. mtmuley
With the Accubond specifically, I probably have more. Hell, I have over 20 with Core-Lokts I bet. Overall kills, who knows? Been hunting and killing for 40 years. Didn't count. It's not a contest, I just have a ton of experience with a certain bullet. 20 kills is a small sample. All I meant. mtmuleyI dont think you wanna play the "I have more kills" game with moffat bud. Both are fine bullets and each have their place. Everyones experience is a little different, as we can see by this thread.

Wow, you guys are KILLERS!! - im not being facetious either, I am lucky to see 4-5 things die through my scope in a season. Anyway, I have taken game with the interlock ring style bullets hornady makes and they have been pretty good- I know the ELDX uses the same locking style.
I have a couple boxes of 178 ELDX and some ELDM's im messing around with in preparation for this bear season. Hopefully ill be able to report back with some pics.
Thus far, the ELDM's seem to shoot better across the board- in my junk guns that is.
Just out of curiosity, How are you guys taking so much game each season? to say im jealous is an understatement.

Sorry I didn’t personally pull the trigger on 24 critters last year. Usually I see 20-25 big game animals shot annually and shoot 3-4 myself. Last year was no different. But all but 4 of the 24 we shot last year folks were using my rifles. I am not some super slayer either as I personally only punched 4 tags. Just enjoy the challenge of getting others on game rather than myself the past several years.
