You guys shooting those 143 eldx.....any of you have experience with terminal performance with less than perfect shot placement?

I have a buddy who said no more 6.5 cm after drawing a limited entry mule deer tag and taking 3 rounds of eldx to kill a 190" deer at what would be considered a chip shot for him normally (380 yds). This guy has killed a bunch of big critters in a bunch of locations and is a heck of a rifleman.

Anyways, his first shot a bit forward, not full shoulder but not perfect double lung, but still decent placement. Followed by two more in the breadbasket. He brought it home but he said he's going back to 30 cal.

I never get interested in what a round does when placed perfectly, I get interested when its a chit show and what happens then.
