[QUOTE="tbrice23, post: 1538778, member: 59502"] I have been curious about high velocity impact performance for the 140 gr ELD Match bullet. Today I had a chance to try one out on a mature whitetail doe at 100 yards. Shot from a 26" 6.5 WSM, 8 twist at 3190 fps muzzle velocity. Impact velocity should have been 3027 fps. Shot her in the armpit, She bucked 5' high and backwards LOL:eek:. Ran dead 15 yards. .264" entrance and about 1" to 1 1/4" exit. Broke 1 rib in and 2 ribs out. No recovered jacket or lead! Internals were recognizable but lungs were about half slush, the heart had a 1" hole through it. This is all I have so far... not extremely violent, pretty uneventful. No meat loss at all. Not nearly as messy/ dramatic as Bergers. No complaints really so far. Exit [ATTACH=full]115832[/ATTACH] Entrance [ATTACH=full]115831[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
