[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1790025, member: 87243"] And don't get me wrong, I'm not downplaying anyone else's experience, I would say the majority of the animals I killed the 147 did fine, comparing them to the 156 in those instances would be like comparing a 7mm mag to a 300 mag on elk, both do it but one just generally does it a little better, but there was a couple that the 147 simply didn't work well, the buck antelope at 980 and my wife's cow elk. I have never lost an animal, but that one, we almost did. It may have just been a fluke, but it sincerely scared me, especially since it was my wife's first elk as well as first big game hunting season. Loosing your first elk when your new to hunting, especially after a good shot, could ruin a person on it, and I was terrified that was going to happen when I was nearly half a mile from where a good shot was placed, with no elk, and no blood in fresh snow. That is likely a large part of my bias away from the 147. [/QUOTE]
