[QUOTE="Longrangers, post: 2689295, member: 101564"] This is always a heated discussion. I myself and my son tried eldM 140 in a 6.5x284 for whitetails. On our end we dad a bad experience with both of us. He had a doe standing broadside in a wide open field at 100 yds and cut one loose and the doe jumped and kicked and stood there looking around. He said did I hit her and I responded you had to so he chambered another and sent it and she dropped about 10 seconds after impact. Upon skinning her out neither bullet expanded and just punched a small hole through her with 2 shots being placed behind the crease on the front shoulder. So I took the same combination out myself and had a buck face me in the open. I settled in on a straight front shot at the bottom of the next where it ties into the chest. I cut it loose and he rared up and took off through brush. We tracked him and never did find him. So I talked to gunwerks and hornady and hornady said that they didn’t recommend it for that application. So I and my son changed to the Berger 140 hunting bullets and so far everything that was hit with that combination has been one shot kills from bear to whitetails. Just my experience and 2 cents.
