[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1365856, member: 13833"] Here is some more data on the 147 ELDM. I shot a small white tail buck last night at 150 yards with my 6.5 SST with a mv of 3107'. He was trotting and quartering away from me. I aimed to catch the off shoulder and hit him just behind the last rib. The bullet traveled through body cavity catching a rib on the offside behind the shoulder and stopping in the meat just under the hide. It had just a bit of core left in the jacket which had peeled clear to the boat tail. Another piece of the core exited the lower brisket and broke the upper fore leg blowing about a 1 1/2" hole. The measured distance that the bullet traveled was 27". The internals were jello for nearly 2 feet! This was actually a good test of what a thin skinned bullet might do at around 2930' or so impact velocity. No, I am not touting the 147 as a good choice for close range, but it's nice to know what it will do in this case........Rich [/QUOTE]
