Kinda my thoughts as well. Or using wrong type of bullet and unhappy with deer killing performance



With my handloads, I would feel comfortable shooting an elk with my 6.5CM over 500 yards.

I watched a video years ago that showed a bull elk DRT from over 600 yards shot with the 143 gr eldx.



My buddy and I shot our antelope this year with my 143 grain eld-x handloads. Mine was 400 and his was 525 yards. I’ve moved on to 142 grain ABLR bullets, though.


83% of all statistics are made up.
