[QUOTE="Prieto9000, post: 2303121, member: 24952"] I’ve used the 147 Eldm’s with very poor performance. 1 coyote @550 yds out of my 6.5 GAP4S @2950fps. The coyote was walking towards me. Hit it right in the center of the chest, saw a red stain trough my scope he fell down came back up and ran away. Never recovered. 1 aoudad sheep @220yds out of my 6.5 creedmoor @2830fps. Hit it in the center of the shoulder, saw the impact clearly trough the scope and he ran like he was just spooked. No blood trail, lost the animal. I thought maybe I needed a little more power so gave my 7mm rem mag a try. Javelina [USER=32017]@220[/USER] yds 162gr ELDM @3100fps Broadside shot through the boiler room, never knew what hit it, the thing is I didn’t get an exit hole on an animal this small. Ok, maybe not enough White tail buck @250yds 180gr ELDM @2950fps broadside high shoulder shot. Deer fell on its tracks, but after 10 minutes it was still alive, had to shoot him again. Entrance hole was unnoticeable, no exit wound, broke the spine but no damage to the vitals. After that shot decided to stay away from ELDM bullets for hunting. I’ve had very good results using the 123gr SST for deer sized game out to 700yds out of my creedmoor so started using them again. Switched to 162gr SST on the 7mm rem mag for more power and this season I’ll be hunting with Barnes LRX on all my rifles. I usually try to keep my shots inside the 500yd mark anyway. [/QUOTE]
