My experience with X bullets is limited it is both good and bad. A client of mine cameoverin 2002 with 300 RUM on his list wasEland as well and we hunted in the easterb Cape long shots needed as well. Now a 180 grain bullet at 3200 fps is a terrifiying idea for me what would hold together well I told him to load X Except for the eland a high lung shot no expansion showed on the exit holes of all the other animals. He had to down a gemsbuck with 3 shots all vital before it dropped and died.

I on the other hand picked upo a box of 210 grainers for me 375 to test out and loaded it at 2950 fps in warm weather. It was very cold and with our local powder wihch is very sensitiove to heat Iwouldn't be surprized if they only clocked 2800 fps in that weather. I shot an old black wildebeest bull at 120 meters almost on a full frontal shot but he was standing at an anglke I broke his left shoulder and it completely destroyed the left lung. Perfect mushroom with weight retention of 99%. That is the only animal I have shot with that loadso far
