Congrats to her on a great buck. I shoot the same ammo and haven’t had a problem, yet.

Great deer and congratulations.
Don't overthink things with the ammo, sometimes things just happen with bones.
I have hit shoulders with .308 and 7mag that did not exit.

Congrats to her. I tried that same 143gr. ELD-X round out of my 6.5 PRC’s and wasn’t very impressed at all with their performance on whitetails. I was getting pass throughs every time, but little to no expansion. The furthest a deer made it with one was about 70 yards. Left little to no blood trails. I’m shooting a 120gr. TTSX out of one and a 140gr. Accubond out of the other now. Both are hand loads. I’m shooting the Sierra 130gr TGK’s out of my Creedmoor and its performance on whitetails has been great. I’m actually shooting factory loaded rounds. Tried a few hand loads but the factory loads grouped the best and had the best speeds out of my Model Seven. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/fTDfmWKH/IMG-6922.jpg)

I’m shooting 140 grain Accubonds in my 6.5 Creedmoor. I’m hoping to shoot one with it before the season goes out. If the preforms like every other Accubond I’ve shot, it’ll be awesome.
83% of all statistics are made up.

I’ll try Beadle…. What about the Accu-bonds? Accubonds are your answer. Best bullet made
