[QUOTE="Lowedown, post: 1763425, member: 110204"] agree go with the 162. on game experience for me is I reloaded my brothers 270 WSM with the 145s. He shot a bull elk at 350 yards. first shot centerpunched front shoulder knuckle joint completely destroying it but not penetrating much after loosing all energy on that. He simply hit too much bone for any bullet that size to penetrate. bull took off on a 3 legged scamper down hill. 2nd shot was dead center boiler room on the run dropping the bull. He rolled down hill about 30 yards and died. I felt the bullet performed well, first shot just happened to hit a poor location. I can't imagine anything smaller than a heavy 338 being able to get into the chest after encountering that knuckle. [/QUOTE]
