[QUOTE="Botha, post: 1973511, member: 115045"] Well, I have the same 6.5 Tikka, this year I hunted also with both the LR Accubond 129 grain as well as the ELD-X 143 grain. with both I shot an oryx, with the Accubond it was a 350m shot and it was just behind the shoulder and I had to walk a couple of kilometers before I found him and placed another shot to kill it. with the ELD-X 143 grain I shot an oryx at 625m and it only ran for 50m before it collapsed down. So for me the 143 grain was the better bullet in performance wise but yet again I think it also depends on the shot placement but at 625m I had no problem on an oryx. I don’t know whitetail but I know an oryx is A tuff animal to kill. [/QUOTE]
