Just got back from New Mexico Scored on my biggest elk to date with my 28 nosler. The 175 ELDX at 250 quartered hard away dropped him where he stood. Heck of a trip.

Congrats on a great bull, well done sir. I guess by your post you are happy with the ELDX's. I'm shooting the 143grain from my 6.5 CM and I'm very pleased with the results from the field so far.

Great looking rifle for sure but with the can on there I suspect it was a little heavy by the end of the day.

Beautiful bull. Nice rig, too. Did you happen to see what that bullet looked like and what kind of damage it did?

The ELDX did well we also shot a cow with a creed with them and most of it went through the off side shoulder. This one Exploded a bit and exited. I found one little piece of lead in the shoulder meat but it was small fragment. The blood where he was standing looked like a 3/4 sucker rod was punched through him

Nice bull up
