[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 2466373, member: 105681"] I shot the 145 eld-x for a few seasons out of my 270 wsm. 3150 fps. Explosive! Really hard on meat. I think if you can slow them down to 2800 starting velo and then hitting an animal at 200 plus yds it is probably a decent bullet. But it didn't work for me. I have since switched to the 140 tsx at 3188. Works great on mule deer and elk. I don't shoot it past 400 yds as I keep 170 grain Berger EOL'S in my pack for long range work. But for 400 yds and in the Barnes peel back in 4 classic petals and my 1:8 twist spins them like a blender through the vitals. Very effective. If you can get the 160 tsx up to 3100 fps I'm sure they will work but I would aim for bone. Don't avoid it. The more resistance, the better. [/QUOTE]
