[QUOTE="MachV, post: 2059748, member: 93"] I was deer hunting or would have had a better rig for the task, the Sweede works for elk but there is a 7mag, 3006 and a 338 in the safe better suited to elk hunting? The 143ELDx shoots better but last fall all I could find was 147ELDm. It blew a big hole out the offside of the antelope,, the offside hide caught it on the mulie and it hit the neck vertebra on the elk but didnt have time to recover. A big WOP when they hit and all three critters dropped on the spot! Went for the neck on the bull, this bullet would be very iffy if put in the shoulder of an elk. The bullet retrieved from the mulie had doubled its diameter and lost half of its weight. [ATTACH=full]235903[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]235905[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]235906[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
