[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1532743, member: 87243"] I did a pretty thorough write up on the performance of the 147. Check it out here: [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/my-experience-with-the-hornady-147-eld-m-on-game-a-lot-of-shot-videos-and-photos.208832/[/URL] I personally did not like it as much as the 140 VLD, but many people like it. I also did not get blood trails on a few animals where it did not exit, but without an exit I don't expect there to be much of a blood trail for quite a while. However, one cow elk went over a half a mile with a well placed shot, and never left a drop of blood in the fresh white snow. I would expect to see some blood SOMEWHERE, but I never did. I also would not expect a cow elk to go over half a mile with a lung shot. Just check out my thread, and decide for yourself. I personally would use the 143 between those two. [/QUOTE]
