[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 4207684, member: 48072"] Yes. The ELD-M *can* be effective, and is actually extremely effective on critters like coyotes. However, I still have reservations about that bullet's effectiveness if you're trying to go through a lot of bone (scapula for example). Not the 123, but I've shot about a dozen coyotes now with the 130gr ELD-M out of a 6.5x47L. It kills like a lightning bolt...However, every quartering to (or long wound channel) shot has almost zero exit wound...maybe just large enough to have squirted the core out the offside. 6-8" and the exit is massive. 10+" and you get an ice pick exit. 10" is enough to get you through the vitals of a deer broadside...but not so much a hard quartering shot. It breaks coyote spines just fine. But again, I'd choose SST all day, everyday if I were trying to through the shoulders and into the spine of big deer or hogs. I know for a fact that the SST makes short work of both. [/QUOTE]
