[QUOTE="sweeney, post: 330400, member: 453"] This year I shot a 6.5 creed with 130 gr eld-m at deer, with 45gr of 6.5 staball powder at 2800fps 2265 ft/lbs at muzzle in a 24" barrel. The buck was at 340 yards it was a vital area shot behind front shoulder, not hitting shoulder on either side. The buck took 3 steps up the hill and fell back down. Ballistics roughly 2280 fps 1500ft/lbs at distance according to my app. Entrance was a minimal wound not much over bullet diameter, exit was a little smaller than a tennis ball sized hole, so no bullet recovery yet was very effective. The only other bullet performance info I personally have using the eld-m was a head shot at 300 yards (2355fps and 1600ft/lbs at distance) made soup of the cavity and entered behind ear exited near the forehead instant death. Not my bullet of choice or caliber but I will no longer worry about using them if it is all I have available with proper bullet placement they are 2 for 2 with me. I know of several people who have used them at longer range in faster calibers, with good success also according to them, one of the main reasons I wanted to try them out this year.
