140gr Amax

761 yards

Quartering away to the left

Entered just in front of rear left quarter

Exited right front shoulder meat, didnt puncture the cape

Amaxs do so great even at slower velocity. I really hope the ELD-m will react the same

The only difference between the amax and ELDM is the tip materials are slightly different. They should react the same.

I've been wanting to do this for some time now. Remember Nosler Partition are designed to work between 1800 fps and unlimited and retain between 60 & 70% of their weight. Some were DRT. Some Traveled a ways. The WT went almost 100yds (the furthest).

100gr accubond going over 3800fps hit a couse at 354yds in the shoulder and stopped under the hide on the rear ham.

.50 cal 350gr TC Maxi-Hunter-- Oklahoma whitetail buck, 78 yard shot, hit just behind near shoulder, broke one rib, broke offside shoulder, found under the skin. Shot from a home made CVA Deer Hunter percussion kit gun.

 

All my reloading kit is packed but I will get a weight on it. You can see where the shoulder bone sheared off some of the lead (2nd photo).

300RUM 150gr Scirocco @ 200+/- yards, near frontal shot, bullet recovered under skin on rear ham after passing through the length of the deer. Don't have a weight- my hunting partner shot it.

KEEP THIS THREAD ALIVE- unlike the animals that these things hit!!

 

This is my muzzleloader bullet from my CO elk this year---  Cow Elk, hit just behind the shoulder, heart/lungs then stopped after passing through off side, she went 15 yards and tipped.

 

Started out as a 300gr Harvester Sabertooth @ 1850fps MV.  100 yard shot, recovered bullet weighed 191.9gr or 64% retention.  Same bullet on a mule deer buck in the same 'pocket' was a pass through, he sprinted 20 and piled up... just far enough to scrub up his velvet 😢

Here’s another!! Started off as a 200gr XTP from a 10mm... then met a great Texas whitetail on our low fence lease!

 

183.0gr weight retention, 27 yard shot, deer dropped in its tracks-
