I shot a 115lb whitetail doe over the weekend with my 7.5x55 and 178gr ELD-X going 2450fps. The shot was at 50yds and the bullet hit the heart and both lungs, she ran about 30yds. The bullet hit behind the shoulder and exited behind the other shoulder. I’m happy pretty much with that whole scenario, but was amazed at how the bullet grenaded at an impact velocity around 2400fps. I don’t think I would use the bullet for anything bigger or tougher than whitetail deer. I’m curious how the bullet would perform at that velocity, hitting a bone bigger than a rib.
