[QUOTE="Schmitty, post: 1420923, member: 3842"] I have shot quite a few coues deer with the 123 SST. I imagine performance with the 123 eld-m would be similar. The 123 SST expands pretty quickly and exit wounds have been pretty severe. We did have a bullet grenade on a strong quartering to shoulder shot. It killed the buck, but upon impacting the shoulder blade it grenaded into a bunch of fragments with no clear bullet path beyond the onside shoulder. Muzzle velocity was approximately 2900 feet per second out of a 6.5 x 47 Lapua with most shots less than 200 yards. I did kill two bucks this year with the 140 BTHP and 147 eld-m with excellent performance, minimal meat damage and pretty good expansion. The 140 was at 450 yards and the 147 at just over 100 yards. I will be sticking with the heavier bullets from now on. Hope this helps! Schmitty [/QUOTE]
