[QUOTE="TRG65, post: 1823470, member: 103919"] I've never used the 140 ELD-M, but have loaded the 123 and 147 for my son in his rifle. He has taken 3 deer with 3 shots. The 123 was used for 2 doe and neither of them took more than a step that was 2017. Then 2019 he shot a buck with the 147, which ran about 50 yds, but didn't make it out of the field. The 123s were loaded with a muzzle velocity of 2770 and the 147 had a muzzle velocity of 2790. The buck and 1 doe were both a smidge over 200yds, and the 1 doe was about 130'ish. He's also gotten a couple groundhogs with the 147 load. I loaded a 143 load for him, but after shooting both loads, and shooting the 147 in a couple matches, he wanted to stick with the 147. I have 0 issues using the ELD-M series (any weight will work) in a 6.5 for deer/thin skin. The damage has been on par with what I've seen in the past from other "hunting" bullets from hunting bullet companies, and better than my experiences with hunting bullets from match bullet companies.
