[QUOTE="willfrye027, post: 2488684, member: 114992"] We killed 5 animals with the 135 LRHT and the 25 creedmoor last year. 220 yard pronghorn doe, 325 yard pronghorn doe, 325 yard mature mule deer, 495 yard pronghorn buck, 690 yard mature mule deer buck. The bullets performed as expected. The only exit wounds were on the 325 yard doe shot through the lungs with a baseball sized exit, and the 690 mule deer which had two of the shots exit. The others went through shoulder and exploded inside. The 690 was in retrospect too far for my abilities at the time with the first shot low through the arm and brisket, second shot liver and lung. I did clean out and slightly open the tips on these with a wire bit. My creedmoor MV is 2820 fps. I will be shooting them again this year from a 25-284. I’ve got a couple thousand of these bullets and didn’t have a reason to try the 133s yet. I’d use whatever you can get ahold of enough to last the barrel.[ATTACH type="full"]353735[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]353736[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]353737[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]353738[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]353739[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
