[QUOTE="Pioneer500, post: 1748804, member: 111840"] I'm interested to see where you end up with the larger bullet. I have been using the 143 ELDX with amazing success. So far, 7 shots, 7 deer. This year, my son took a whitetail at 747 yards. The deer was bedded down. The shot was right behind the shoulder missing ribs on the way in and the way out (all soft tissue). I was impressed with the size of the exit wound and the damage to the soft tissue without hitting bone. The deer ran for 6 to 8 seconds and dropped. That being said, I'm with you in that I would rather use the heaviest bullet possible. If you have good luck, I might give it a try. [/QUOTE]
