We just returned from our friend Mike's (butcher) and he had a little surprise for me. He found my 143 grain Hornady ELD-X bullet out of my elk. Cant wait to weigh it!

This is some pretty amazing expansion for a 560 yard shot. Bullet came out of the animal below. The cactus elk.

They look like the don't flower as wide as the SX bullets but that thing mushroomed really big. It looks like it stayed together well. Definately from the two you recovered proved to be good rounds that did their job as designed. Excited to hear how much is still left.

The SCH team wrapped the trip up with two more dogs today. Not a bad way to finish it off.
