[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 2471787, member: 13632"] All those will kill elk, I've seen or killed elk with all of them and I'd rank them 140 vld, 156 EOL, 130 vld, 140 AB, 143 elx and the last is the 127 lrx in a 6.5x284. The 143 eld and the 127 LRX are pretty much not on my go list anymore, the eld works great if it doesn't blow up and the 127 elx has just lead to extra holes in elk and more tracking. I've killed a lot of elk with the 140 vld, I have only caught one in an elk and that was a big cow shot on a heavy quartering right in the middle of the heaviest shoulder bone blowing through that, destroying the front of the lungs and arteries at the front of the chest, found the bullet on the of side half way up the neck. My buddy used a 6.5x284 with 140 Bergers on a good Alaskan bull moose, frontal shot right in the chest and thrashed both lungs and we found the bullet in the of side flank, second round middle of the neck dropping him, breaking his neck and exiting. Last year his daughter using the same load put one behind a cow elks shoulder at 420, blowing a hole through her and breaking her of shoulder. I could keep going!! [/QUOTE]
