[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 3009322, member: 88320"] Excellent advice of real world differences. 150fps or 150 yards difference dont mean much in a hunting situation. Unless you obsessed with killing critters at 1k plus the velocity losses from short barrels is meaningless. As for bullets they will both work fine. It’s just a matter if you prefer smaller wound channel with more penetration or big wound channel and less penetration. We shot EDLX through shoulders or elk and oryx with no problem, but we also don’t shoot them at blazing speeds where they could over fragment before they get enough penetration. I don’t like monos because of the small wound channels but they work just fine when you hit where your supposed to. [/QUOTE]
