Also what's your favorite place to bury that eld-x?I don't use that factory ammo, but do handload 143 grain eldx, and have been very accurate and effective.

No. The ones that didn't drop in their tracks didn't go more than 30 yards.You ever have any of the issues losing deer or anything like that?
Shoulder?No. The ones that didn't drop in their tracks didn't go more than 30 yards.
I usually try to tuck them in tight behind the shoulder with whatever caliber I am using. The two from this year. Both in the woods, one about 80 yards away the other a little closer. Both heart shots. They both ran about 30 yards. 143 grain eldx over 42 grains imr4350. Last year shot one in my field about 150 yards out, a little higher behind the shoulder. That one dropped in his tracks.Also what's your favorite place to bury that eld-x?
I use eldx in 308 as well. 178 grain eldx, and think I have killed 5 or 6 with them, they all dropped in their tracks. Punched one of those through the shoulder. I have been impressed with eldx bullets.Shoulder?
I've always shot them in 30-06 but I just wanted a creedmoor because I didn't have enough guns lol! But then I started reading all these horror stories and was like oh man maybe I don't wanna shoot anything with this but people like you are giving me a lot more confidence with it!I use eldx in 308 as well. 178 grain eldx, and think I have killed 5 or 6 with them, they all dropped in their tracks.

Good looking rifle. I have a tikka in 308 that has to be the sweetest rifle I own. I also have some burris glass on a few of my rifles and I have zero complaints.View attachment 163856
Well this is it! Tikka T3x superlite 6.5 creedmoor Talley lightweight rings Burris Fullfield iv 4-16x50! I'm super pumped to get to shooting this thing!
I haven't shot one yet, this is my first Tikka but man it feels so good on my should and the cheek weld is pretty good!Good looking rifle. I have a tikka in 308 that has to be the sweetest rifle I own. I also have some burris glass on a few of my rifles and I have zero complaints.
Just got one off Ebay to put on my 44 mag. Haven't mounted it yet, but think I'll like it. Just a 2x, but very clear and Burris had very good reviews.Not on a rifle, but I have a Burris on a Ruger Redhawk .44mag.
The scope takes a beating and is totally reliable.
