[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1790139, member: 97196"] I saw some good outcomes from the 156 EOLs this season. Loaded our PRCs and CMs this year with 156s. Very easy to find accurate loads for and good consistency. Still had a couple of hunters using 142 ABLR and 147 ELDM and all were successful. My nephew used a 147 to squarely hit the shoulder of a coues and not penetrate the rib cage at 560 yards but a follow-up shot was very effective. A 156 from one of the CMs dropped a big 6x6 bull with one hit at ~500 yards and another took a nice coues at 460. The 147 and 156 are ballistically similar when loaded near max for the same cartridge, but I believe the 156 is better designed for hunting. Attached a picture from the 156 EOL/CM shot from my 13 y/o grandson at 460 yards showing entrance just behind the front shoulder and exit through the opposite side shoulder (top right).
