I’ve been using Hornady match bullets for the last three hunts, out a a 6 creed. Everything has died right there. Very humane. The 109 eld-m and 110 atip have performed about the same.
280 yards 110 Atip @3050. Impact at 2675fps and 1750ft/lb
She ran about 10 yards and stopped I put a 2nd on her because it was my first try with a match bullet and I wasn’t sure it had expanded. It did and the exit wound was about 1 1/4 inch. The second was quartering and made it through about 18 inches of antelope and exited at about 1/2 inch. Heart was quartered and lungs were destroyed.
375 yards 109 ELD-M @ 3030 impact at 2550fps and 1500 ft/lb
He ran 15 yards and piled up. The picture is the exit side the wound is behind the rifle. The entrance hit a rib and the exit was roughly 3/4 inch. Lungs were jelly.
480 yards 110 A-tip @ 3030 impact at 2450fps and 1480ft/lb.
She didn’t move at impact, just put her head down. The picture is the exit side. It exited just behind the shoulder. No blood on the outside. Heart stopped instantly, exit wound was about 1/2 inch looked like the tip exited separately as there was an additional perfectly circular hole next to the exit. Lungs were crushed. Did not hit any bone.
