[QUOTE="Sledhead406, post: 1853977, member: 108747"] I shot a 320 bull with the 147 two years ago, one shot kill. This was only because it just happened to be the rifle with me when I saw the bull. I would NOT make this my elk rifle/bullet/cartridge. Additionally there has been about 7-8 mule deer bucks between myself and friends with the 147, it is a pretty good whitetail and mule deer bullet. It works well under 2600 fps. While I have seen a 100% success rate with the 6.5 version, shot placement must be perfect. There may be better 6.5 bullets out there but I have abandoned the CM and went back to the various 7mm cartridges for big game. FWIW, I do use the ELD-M in my 280 (162gr) and my 7RM (180gr) for longer shots. [/QUOTE]
