[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1700887, member: 87243"] If I was just shooting deer at moderate ranges, and if it was fine if the deer ran a couple hundred yards, I might be alright with the 147. When I used them out to 1000ish yards and on elk, mule deer and pronghorn I was less than pleased with the results. Animals seemed to take longer than necessary to expire when compared to the 140 VLD. I certainly wouldn't use them on elk beyond 400-500 yards max. So far I have only killed 4 pronghorn with my .260 AI and the 156, and all have been neck or spine shots minus one, so as of yet I don't feel I have a solid test media to go by. I want to get a bunch of hits behind/through the shoulder before I make any assessments. I plan on writing up an article after the season is through on the 156's terminal performance, as by then it should have 20+ documented kills, from my .260 AI, A 6.5 creed, and a .264 wm, including 6 or more elk, 4 mulies, a pile of antelope and likely a few white tail that will add to the 20 number.
