[QUOTE="Bull 228, post: 1699828, member: 30582"] We've had great results with the 143 ELDx on whitetail, mule deer and antelope from 150 yards to 545 and have yet to recover a bullet. All broadside shots, all one shot kills. On the other hand, we also had 2 poor results from the 168gr Berger hunting bullets, out of a .308. One was a large whitail Nebraska doe at 150 yards that my son placed a bullet directly behind the shoulder on a "perfectly" broadside shot. Doe did the big mule kick and took off running. Never found a drop of blood and we searched (4 of us) for over five hours with no success of ever finding any trace, over snow covered ground. We were unable to simply track the doe in the snow do to the area being heavily worked by lots of deer. I'm sure lots of folks have great success stories with the Berger bullets, but my success with them has been a bit lackluster. That being said my velocities on the .308 were obviously not fast, 2550 ish. Which may be a contributing factor. [/QUOTE]
