I don’t care for them either. At all. If you reload try 140 gr. Speer Hot Cor or Hornady Interlock - nothing fancy but dead reliable.

I like to bag on it as much as the next guy, but it's a damn fine hunting caliber. It just happens to suffer from a lot of crappy ammo available on shelves that people buy because it looks cool.

Is a glorified match bullet. Terrible choice for normal range deer hunting.

Those bullets hunting in wooded areas I do not care for it either. Take the same gun and load it with bonded bullets or mono metal and it’s GTG.
I’m guessing they shot the deer with the eldx 85-180yd out in tight woods couldn’t find any blood and called for a dog, dog found deer within 60-110yd and no blood at all. Insides of deer looked like mush and the deer died in less than 12 seconds.
