[QUOTE="Northkill, post: 2558257, member: 110890"] That is a very nice rifle, bro. Your hunt sounds exciting and I wish you success! How far do you expect to shoot? The 147 ELD-M's seem to kill quite well and are great for longer ranges - maybe a bit messy for hi-speed close-up shots and not so good for non-ideal shot angles going through meat/bone. Having run them as well as the 124 Hammers, I can say with confidence that the 124 HH will easily out-penetrate the ELD-M. It is not an under-dog in any way. I ran a 123 AH through a large doe last year from my Sherman Max - entry centered through the left rear ham and exit just behind right front shoulder. Did much better than a similar shot made with a 7-LRM running 180 Hybrids near 3,000 fps. that didn't even reach the vitals. Both at 200 yds. Either will get the job done if you know their limits.
