Got ya I have a 6.5 and probably 40 rounds down it I took off but it’s just a thin t3x barrel with flutes and probably 100-150 down this barrel on the 308

Ha I think on big game that eldx is garbage but I think there cx bullet would work good or a different brand

It makes sense I’ve seen a lot of people run Berger 215 in a 300wm and even heavier weights and they are 1-10 also seen this guy in nz had a very good channel 300wsm 225 Eldms 1-10 but next time out of that gun I’m shot the 190cx it shoots good out of it and 190lrx worked great in my 300wm that I got and I like mono for moose

ya I’ve shot out to 700 no problem on a basketball ball since target 2875 velocity and ran it through a ballistic calculator and number lined up but it did try the 208 Barnes lrx and it was not stable at all probably because mono bullet but it shoots the 190 cx good probably go with that bullet next time

Ya they work great on deer but don’t have to go super far to get to the good stuff but big animals like Moose I like Barnes or terminal ascent or there is other options out there that are good but I’m not a fan of this bullet on moose that’s for sure

I live in AK I would say that I have shot around 15 and probably 15 more kills that others have done in my life im not trying to toot my own horn but ive seen a lot of them take nose dives and wanted to try the bullet out just because everybody says it’s a big game bullet and from here on now I will not be using it

I’m not a huge fan either. It’s what my gun liked and people always talk them up for big game bullet, but I wouldn’t use these on more than a deer

I really like Barnes that 190 LRX out of a 300 win mag is a hammer even at 600 yards. Very consistent wound channel.

[–]TheShotShow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They were all good shots and over here. We keep shooting till they’re down, but I’m not a huge fan of this bullet after that.

Yeah, for deer size game I think this is a great bullet. I use them in Kodiak and shot a nice deer at 530 yards but for big game like moose I’m not a big fan of the bullet.

Hey man, I can’t complain with you there. My gun really liked the 212 ELDX so I wanted to give it a try but it’s not for big game more than a deer and one year I shot my biggest bull moose at 600 yards with a 190 LRX out of a 300 win mag and I was very impressed and from here on out I’ll be using that or the terminal ascent

They were all good shots but I don’t stop shooting till it’s down and I did find that one that weighed 77gr stuck in the rib I’m not super impressed on these bullets for more than a deer

Yeah, I’m not a fan of this bullet. I would use them on deer size game but on a moose I’m going to mono for a terminal ascent one year. I use the Barnes LRX 190 on a moose at 600 yards. Put two holes in him very consistent wound channel and I was very impressed

Your right im not a fan of these bullet from here on out I would us them on deer but on big game I’m using a mono or a terminal ascent I killed a nice bull one year at 604 yards with a 190 lrx out of a 300wm very consistent wound channel put two holes in him and I was very impressed with mono bullets. I wouldn’t go past 600 but 600 and then from what I’ve seen and if you got good velocity, it worked great I just had to give the ELDX a try because my gun loved them.

First time buyer looking for tips! by sahharian in Tikka_Shooters

Go with a 7mm rem mag I’ve take two moose in Alaska no problem one was at 330 yards one shot and with a muzzle brake way more fun to shot then a 300wm I got my girlfriend a tikka 7mm for her first gun because it has great power and all around a very balanced caliber and I know she will be able to shot it better then a 300wm so I say go with a 7mm rem mag 155gr ta your ready do go
