[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 2835242, member: 104437"] My son shot, a 5X6 Idaho Bull at, 247 yards, with a 150 gr. ELD-X using a stiff load of RL-17 ( over 2,850 IIRC ) in a 7 MM-08, 22.4" Tikka Lite. His Elk was at an Angle, across a Canyon, so the Bullet clipped, the near shoulder blade and lodged in the back, rear Ham, AFTER breaking the Femur Bone ( Great Penetration, with approx. 60% weight retention of, base / core & Flanged Jacket ). He used a second shot to "finish" him but, he wasn't going anywhere. They have, .037 Thick Jackets, tapered at Tip to Expand well and penetrate Deep. Son obtained 1/2 to 5/8th MOA groups with this Load, from his 7 pound Tikka. We use them, in other Cart's like, the 6.5 Creed and 6.5 PRC also ( the 143's ). IMO, it's a good, Shoulder Bone, breaking bullet, AND they LIKE to "Jump" at, magazine lengths ! Good luck, hope this "Help's" ! [/QUOTE]
