[QUOTE="mferrell, post: 2020818, member: 115682"] This past week I was blessed to make it out to the lease and try out the 140s and 156s on white tail. Shots were taken prone with bipod and rear bag. First deer was shot with the 156 EOLs at 230 yards. She was quartering to me slightly; the bullet entered just behind the left shoulder and exited on the opposite side about 4" behind the shoulder, clipping her heart on the way though. The picture below shows the exit wound before cutting the skin back as well as after. 156 Berger: 230 yards - impact velocity around 2676 fps - Energy 2481 ft-lbs [ATTACH type="full" width="261px"]225164[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="266px"]225165[/ATTACH] The last deer I shot was with the 140 EH at 160 yards. Below are pictures of the exit wound plus a screen shot from my camera right before I took the shot. Unfortunately this shot clipped the stomach on the way out.

Internal damage and blood loss was significant on both deer. Overall I am happy with the performance of these loads on both deer. However, I would like to test them out of some large pigs to gain some more terminal performance data. [/QUOTE]
