my first 6.5 G buck with ELD match bullet

[BL2551]

But everybody knows you can't hunt with match bullets, LOL.

Nice report. Thanks for sharing.

Ha! of course you can't... but I saw enough anecdotal evidence to believe it was worth a try. What I've heard others say is now what I've seen with my own eyes. I know for sure if I go through ribs on a broadside shot I will destroy the lungs of any deer unfortunate enough to step in front it it. I do wonder with the ELD-m if I hit shoulder blade or other heavier bone, will it just explode and fail to penetrate or will it still get sufficient penetration to result in a fast ethical kill... that I don't yet know.
