i am looking for opinions on the 270 145 gr Eldx precision hunter on elk. I killed a cow at 400 yards with one last year. Put 2 rounds through lungs and she tipped over after about 1 minute. Found one bullet on the off shoulder hide that had about 80% weight retention. I chose this bullet because it has much better down range velocity at 400 yards then the old 150 grain corelokt that I had used for years. The eldx did its job but I was expecting to knock the elk down more quickly. 400 yards shot with the corelokt typically resulted in much quicker knockdowns. The eldx shoots great but now I am second guessing my decision to switch from the corelokt
