Yea bit not all LGS or created equal. Go into one where I live and tell them you need a rifle for deer and they will hand you a 300 win mag and 200 grain ammo.

I shot a deer with mine. Dropped it in tracks

I'll add my 2 cents worth of anecdotel evidence.

I've shot quite a few hogs from 50 to 300 yards with 123 Amaxes from an 18 inch barre and they all died quickly most within a few yards if not drt. Various weight and size pigs I remember a couple of pretty large boars too.

I called and asked once about the ELD-Ms vs Amax and was told they were the same besides the plastic.

Just killed a 125 pound bear with the 123 ELD-M at 265 yards. One shot was all that was needed.

They work good. Took two last year and both dropped where they stood.
