[QUOTE="7mmHammer, post: 1377715, member: 103154"] I shoot the 162gr eld x out of a 7mm RUM. This year I shot an elk and four whitetails ranging from 50 to 580 yards. I have been absolutely loving the performance of that bullet. Since they are designed to open at long range, I was very worried about what would happen when they hit at very high velocity (I'm launching them at 3390fps.) But I have been pleasantly surprised. The elk was shot twice with the bullets impacting broadside behind the shoulder at about 3200 fps. Only one of the bullets exited, but either would have been fatal by itself. I put another clean through a deer at over 3300. The bullet hit the heart and almost everything in the chest cavity in front of the diaphragm was hamburger. I broke both shoulders on a very large doe at 580 yards, and I managed to recover a bullet was under the skin of the far shoulder of a doe at 570 yards. It hit at a little over 2500 fps and traveled 20-24" before stopping. [ATTACH=full]86432[/ATTACH] Here are some pictures of the entrance and exit on a buck at about 3250 fps. Exit: [ATTACH=full]86433[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]86434[/ATTACH] Entrance: [ATTACH=full]86435[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]86436[/ATTACH] Edit: **** it, I reread your post and realized that you wanted to know about the 150. I don't have any info about that. [/QUOTE]
