I recently acquired a Christiansen arms Rigeline titanium 65 PRC
I have some 139 gr scenars and I got them shooting great groups I recently developed a load with some 156 bergers also got them down to a half inch group I'm doing a Texas deer hunt this fall and was wondering which bullet you guys wouldI choose. If any of these at all. Thanks in advance
 
I can give a thumbs up to the 156 EOL. I've been shooting it for about 4 years now and taken 22 big game animals with it. I have not lost any. But, that being said and being familiar with typical Texas deer hunting from blinds you likely don't need the 500-1000 yard performance the 156gr will give you over the 139gr bullet. Unless you think you need long range power then you could save your 156s and hunting with the lighter bullet. Either bullet will whack a Texas whitetail if you aim it right.
