Not on game but very accurate in my 6.5 Creedmoor. I may try them this year if I get back on my old lease. They have a pretty good website.

I shot two Auodad rams and a whitetail buck with them last year. .264 Win Mag shooting the 123 gr. Absolute at 3400 fps. They all dropped where they stood. Farthest shot was 150 yards. Found some of the pedals that broke off, but the main shaft passed through every shot. All three animals were shot through the shoulders. The deer's chest cavity just sloshed when I loaded him in the truck. Very devastating and accurate.

Have friend using them in his 6.5 PRC and .25-284. He shot a doe last year with the same results as me.

I’m going back to Nosler Ballistic Tips. They just kill better and I don’t have to track anything.

You’ll get no arguments from me…I don’t like any of the eld’s. My only ballistic tip complaint it’s not all are equal. Example, 7mm 120 smoke things in the 2950 range and you will get exits but a 7mm 140 going 2700 will thump stuff hard but not exit.

Most of what I’ve shot has been 150s at 2850 from a 308 and it kills them like lightning and exits. I also used the 180s out of the 338 Federal at 2700 fps to a lesser extent and it did the same. Gonna try 130s out of a bolt action 6.8 this year at 2500 fps and see how they do.

They are nasty medicine. All I use in my 243's and 25-06.
