[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1752274, member: 13632"] I really think guys need to remember the bullet does the killing, the cartridge is simply a launcher. This forum has become sooo cartridge centric when we used to be about the fact of the bullet on impact, real data points, the one that you get blood on your hands getting not some passive aggressive YouTube battle. That 156 has a sectional density in the range of the Berger 215, 7mm 180 or 338 250, there is no way that it's not going to wreck elk, what you launch it with just determines your comfortable range bases on you feelings or if your fact based you real world observation. The only hesitation I'd have with a 156 in a Creed on an elk at 5-600 yards is the time it takes to get a good wind read, other than that it's a done deal!! I've absalutely taco'ed bulls beyond 800 with a hotter 6.5 with 140's, we've been shooting 150 and 160 Matrix for years and it's a whole other level!! Last year a buddy cycled shooters on his Creedmore and they had better than a dozen one shot kills out to 500 with 140's, a 156 just add more joy!! [/QUOTE]
